Is my sister or her friends going to the party tonight? vs Are my sister or her friends going to the party tonight?

Both phrases are correct, but they have different structures. The first phrase uses the singular form 'is' because it is asking about one group (either the sister or the friends). The second phrase uses the plural form 'are' because it is asking about two separate entities (the sister and the friends). The choice between the two phrases depends on whether you are considering the sister and her friends as a single unit or as individual entities.
