Help me to get a grammatically correct sentence, Please!

Post by bstuan »

Please show me is the following sentence grammatically and spelling correct or not ?:
"The lack of time, infrastructure, and adequate equipment by the surgeons are important difficulties that must be addressed".
I'm wondering about the preposition "by" and the plural of the verb "be" (are).
Please help me. Thank you so much!

The lack of time, (the lack of) infrastructure, and (the lack of) adequate equipment FOR the surgeons are important difficulties that must be addressed. :ok:

You don't need to repeat "the lack of". I just show it to indicate the underlying meaning/structure.
