'Neither is' or 'neither are'?
My teacher told me that i should say 'neither of you is', but my book says i should say 'neither of you are' ... Which is correct?

Question

Answer

NEITHER + SINGLUAR NOUN
Here "neither" means "not one and not the other", and the verb is singular:
e.g., I must see my friend on Monday or Tuesday, however, based on my busy schedule, neither day is available.

NEITHER OF + PLURAL (noun or pronoun)
In a formal phrase or sentence we use a singular verb.
e.g., Neither of the governments is willing to take the first step.

In an informal phrase or sentence we use a plural verb.
e.g., Neither of us are going to the party.

Answer

Both are commonly used. "Are" sounds better to my ear as a native speaker, but "is" makes logical sense.and probably is grammatically correct.
