[Rasha Assem]

هو نسخة كتاب اللي اتوزع عندنا في المدرسة فيه الجملة مختلفة في النصف الثاني منها ونموذج الإجابة بنفس التغيير...بس أعتقد انه نسي يعدل الإجابة نفسها علشان تبقي BOTH
ملحوظة: هي Neither بتاخد الاتنين ود مذكور في كتيير من الكتب

الحل طبعا Neither كده الجمله معناها ولا احد من اولياء الامور فى المنزل لانهم كانوا فى العمل

Thanks a lot for being interested in my question. But a question is still there: Do we teach the standard language or the slang (colloquial) one? We should stick to the books language, not to the street one? Am I right or not

[almallah2010]

You are completely right, sir.
We do teach formal British English. Yet, it is now common knowledge that curriculum specialists are between US and Cairo all year long, so they have an undisputed inclination to use American English.
Personally, I stick to the origin and claim it is a mistake in the course book no matter what students may say in the future when other teachers say it is true on the american way.

[tamerkok]

I see that the sentence should be rewritten correctly as the use of the plural verb is not correct at all
The sentence should be
Neither of my parents is at home......

[mazen 2011]

you know this is the first edition
i think they will correct it later

[ahmed yaya]

the sentence should be (is) not (are ) at all as we deal with standard Britsh English
