Neither. Singular or plural?
Hey guys, I have some serious doubts about neither and the use of singular or plural.
Here are some sentences, could you please bold all the correct ones and explain why they are thus (is thus right in this sentence?)? Or just explain me the rules behind them?
"Neither he or she IS going to the party"
"Neither he or she ARE going to the party"
"Neither he or his friends IS going to the party"
"Neither he or his friends ARE going to the party"
"Neither player HAS recovered" - "Neither player HAVE recovered"
"Neither players HAS recovered" - "Neither players HAVE recovered"
"Neither of the player HAS recovered" - "Neither of the player HAVE recovered"
"Neither of the players HAS recovered" - "Neither of the players HAVE recovered"
If there are 10 players, and none of them recovered, can I still say "neither"?
Or I can use neither only if there are 2 players?
Thank you!

Difference between this 2 sentences

"If I told you what I'm doing to the controls, you would understand"
and
"If I was/were to tell you what I'm doing to the controls, you would understand"
Could you play explain, if there is any? :)

With the passing of time? And similar
Hey everyone.
Speaking of tv shows, let's assume that I liked the 1st season of some tv show so much. Then I like the 2nd season lesser then the first one, the 3rd one again lesser then the 2nd one, and so on....
How can I explain that my liking for the tv show decreased from season 1 to season 3? Can i say:
"With the passing of the seasons it started becoming less original and fun" ?
or
"With the passing of the seasons it became less original and fun"
Does "with the passing of the seasons" make sense?
Thx for your answers

Sentences with the word "flap"
Hey guys,
I heard this word in a tv serie, the sentence was "we are all in flap".
I got one of the meaning of flaps (Birds flapping their wings - The flag flapped in the breeze, etc), but I didn't get in which form flap can be used for describe a state of upset, or becoming nervous, or whatever.
Could you please write down few sentences as examples? :)
