"Either you or I am responsible." is the correct option.
Before discussing what is subject-verb agreement let us have a look in to the basic of it like what is a verb, what is subjects etc.
Subjects– person, place, thing, or ideas
Verb– action performed by the subjects or state of being .
Subject-verb agreement
- For making a sentence grammatically correct, a verb must agree with its subject in number.
- In the above question "Either I or you are responsible."
- The above is a wrong sentence because you being singular cannot take a plural verb.
- The word "either" can be a pronoun or a determiner. "Either" means "one or the other of two things." It attracts a singular verb.
- Either" and "neither" are singular.
- Either you or I ( am ) because the verb is determined by the noun / pronoun closest to it. We do not normally say I were unless it is hypothetical , and naturally we don’t say I are, so it is ‘ either you or I was ( or am ) mistaken. ‘
So , the correct sentence would be "Either you or I am responsible."
