1. If the part of the compound subject are joined by AND,wheather they are singular or plural form of the verb is used

Example:

2. If the part of the compound subject are singular and joined by such connectives as or, nor, either......or, neither.......nor, not only.....but also, the singular form of the verb is used.

Example:

3. If the part of the compound subject joined by or, nor, either.....or, neither....nor, not only....but also are different in number of person, the part nearest the verb determines the number of the verb.

Verb form and auxiliaries that do not change form for agreement.
