When to use "are or is" and "have or has."
Posted: Sat Oct 19, 2013 3:05 am
Hi, I'm trying to understand when to use "are or is" and "have or has."
I've been reading grammar books to improve my writing issues.
On MS Word I typed these 2 sentences:
1) Scoring and dribbling is important.
2) Scoring, dribbling, and assisting is important.
The first sentence was error free. But MS Word is telling me I should use are instead of is with the second sentence. Is there a rule that if you use 3 verbs you have to use are instead of is?
Also can someone supply a tip or suggest a source that would help me with these specific writing issues?
