Hope I made myself understood.Thanks for your help. 1 Neither of us is/are more intelligent than she is. 2 None of them live/lives around here. 3 Neither John nor Peter works/work in this company Hi Queti. Although in common speech some people might use plurals with 1 and 3, technically both are singular. None of them in your example means not any of them, so it’s plural. Neither of us is None of them live Neither works

1 Definitely singular. Not one or the other is more intelligent than she is. You are considering them in turn. 2 Singular. Again you are considering them in turn, 3 Singular again. 2 is most like to use the plural in everyday speech.
