Thank you, Ms. Beauty in Japan.

I'm a bit surprised at the tone you had, "But again....", while we have plenty of those tests oand excercises that ask learners to choose either am or are. If so, under normal circumstances, you wouldn't say either. Then I would like to know what you as any native speaker would say.

Either you are right or I am right.
Which one do you say often, "Either you or I will go." or "Either you are going or I am going."


I look forward to your answer, as always.



All the best,
Blacknomi
