柯帕斯英语网老师好!
neither students nor the teacher is无疑是对的,不过《牛津》上有以下表述:
neither...nor或either...or与两个单数名词连用时,谓语动词可用单数或复数。
那向neither students nor the teacher这种连接单复数的情况呢?
neither students nor the teacher are, either students or the teacher are 都可接受吗?
谢谢老师。

【答】当 neither...nor 连接单数主语时,动词通常也是单数,但在不太正式的文体中也可以是复数。(摘自《牛津英语用法指南》第四版228.3)
