Either he or she is going to the party.
Either he or we are going to the party.
Either we or he is going to the party.
Either they or we are going to the party.

Is there any error among the sentences above? :(

In Either A or B form, does B always become the subject of the following verb? I think yes.

Please explain to me, anybody. Many thanks. :D
