                Choose the correct form of the pronoun in parentheses: Carlos and (him, he) will join us soon.
Neither of them sound right.
I honestly don't understand this... Could someone please explain it to me?

    Forget Carlos, and the sentence would be
He will join us soon.
Adding in Carlos does not change the fact that it is the subject, so does not use the objective form (him).
"neither" means "not either" and is singular. So,
Neither of them sounds right.
"them" is plural, but is not the subject of the sentence. Without the prepositional phrase, the sentence is
Neither sounds right.
