In general, if I want to join one singular subject to one plural subject in a sentence by correlative conjunction 'neither ..... nor' or not only ...... but also', the verb should agree with the noun that is closest to the verb. For example:
1) Neither I nor my friends like swimming.
2) Not only we but also my mother likes swimming.
In this context, is it grammatically correct that if either of the subjects in a sentence is plural, then the verb should always be plural?
