Question

either my shoes or your coat ( is,are ) always on the floor.

Answer 1

Either my shoes or your coat is always on the floor.

Subject-verb Agreement:

• In ''subject-verb'' agreement, subjects and verbs must agree with one another.
• If the subject is singular then the verb is also singular whereas if the subject is plural then the verb is also plural.
• In the given sentence, ''Either my shoes or your coat is always on the floor.'', the second subject ''your coat'' is singular so we use the singular verb ''is''.
