Single inverted commas

Although it is usual to enclose a word under discussion in single inverted commas, I have chosen instead to emphasise it in red to prevent confusion with apostrophes.
These posts are always short and clear so that they can be read easily on a mobile if you follow by email (the red may not show, however!) This is completely free.

NEITHER .. NOR

Neither ...nor takes a singular verb.  Neither my brother nor my sister likes tennis.

If you are not sure what the right verb is, try using just one of the people concerned: my brother likes tennis.  Although this sentence does not mean what you want to say, it does give you the correct form of the verb
