The traditional rule also holds thatneither is grammatically singular:

However, it is often used with a plural verb,especially when followed byof and a plural:
但它常跟複數動詞連用,尤其當後跟of 和一個複數名詞時:
例句:
Neither of the candidates are really expressing their own views. ·
沒有一位候選人真實地表達出他們的觀點。 ·

As a conjunctionneither is properly followed by nor, not or, in formal style:
作為一個連詞,在正式文體中neither 後宜跟 nor 而不是 or
例句:
