"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."
