Neither you nor I am going to the shop

[Steve88]

Do I say "Neither you nor me is going to the shop" or "Neither you nor I am going to the shop". Are both sentences correct ?

Only #2-Neither you nor I am going to the shop

You have to use the pronoun you would use if the other person were not included.

You would never say, "Me am not going to the shop," or, "Me am going to the shop," so the correct pronoun is "I" in this sentence.

However, you can't say, "This gift is for Steve and I." That's quite wrong, because you can't say, "This gift is for I."

By the way, a lot of native speakers have problems with this also.

"Neither of us is going..."?
