Hi everone,
I came accross this sentence on Newsweek " Neither do a growing number of his countrymen; poll shows strong support....". I would say the subject is a growing number, so it should be Neither does, not do. am I wrong?
Thanks for the help
Willie
Be careful with the subject, which is "his countrymen", and therefore plural.
Neither do (a growing number of) his countrymen.
The "a growing number of" is merely quantifying 'how many' countrymen.
Hope that helps...
