Is it correct to say neither the teacher nor students seems understand rules of game?

The sentence "Neither the teacher nor students seems understand rules of game" is grammatically incorrect. Here's why and how to fix it:

Problems:

* Subject-verb agreement: "Neither" is a singular subject, but "seems" is a singular verb. Since the subject is plural ("teacher nor students"), the verb should be plural as well.

* Missing articles: The sentence lacks articles ("a," "an," or "the") before "rules" and "game."

Correct Sentence:

"Neither the teacher nor the students seem to understand the rules of the game."

Explanation of Corrections:

* Subject-verb agreement: We changed "seems" to "seem" to match the plural subject.

* Articles: We added "the" before "rules" and "game" for clarity and correct usage.

* Infinitive phrase: We added "to" before "understand" to create an infinitive phrase ("to understand"), which is more natural in this context.
