Neither my mother nor my father _____ present there.

• Complete sentence: Neither my mother nor my father was present there.

• "Neither...nor" এর subject-verb agreement নিয়ম:
- Either ...... or, Neither….nor, Not only….but also দ্বারা যুক্ত একাধিক subject -এর ক্ষেত্রে verb টি তার নিকটতম subject অনুসারে বসে।
- অর্থাৎ, or, nor, but also -এর পরে singular subject থাকলে singular verb এবং plural subject থাকলে plural verb বসবে।
- যেহেতু প্রদত্ত প্রশ্নের শেষের subject "my father" = third person singular, third person singular number এ আছে, তাই এখানে verb = was (singular) হবে।

- Structure:
• [Either/neither] + noun + [or/nor] + singular noun + singular verb.
- Neither the salesmen nor the marketing manager is in favour of the system.

• [Either/neither] + noun + [or/nor] + plural noun + plural verb.
- Neither Rahi nor his friends are qualified for the job.

অন্যদিকে,
- Has হলো present perfect and doesn't fit with "present there."
- Were এবং are হলো plural, তাই ভুল।
