Today, i tricked some of my classmates and friends. hahas :)

Everyone, Happy April Fools' Day!!!
-----------------------------------------------
Today, mc asked us to summerise our weaknesses in our Grammar book after doing some tests on
a) Concord (agreement)
b) Prepositions-phrasal verbs
c) formation of words
d) pronouns- which, who, whom, whose
And i realised my areas of confusion:
1. Concord
1) Neither of
- singular verb
a) I put my answer as:
Neither of the brothers want to fight in front of their parents. (wrong)
The answer should be:
Neither of the brothers wants (singular) to fight in front of their parents(correct)
Why? -Neither of is a singular verb.
*we should not be confused with neither..nor...
b) I put my answer as:
All of the books here is donated by members of the public. (wrong)
The answer should be:
Each of the books here is donated by members of the public. (correct)
Why?-All should be together with are not is.
c) I put my answer as:
"All my men knows what to do during an emergency," said the sergeant. (wrong)
The answer should be:
"All my men know what to do during an emergency," said the sergeant. (correct)
Why? -singular have "s" but "all" is plural so there's no "s".
My areas of confusion also includes " Prepositions".
p.s. i lazy to type out my mistakes..
