Are or Is...Why is this so confusing!
I was writing a sentence and found myself second guessing the correct way to write...now I'm stuck.
"I see a lot of companies put this into writing, but your numbers show action and execution are happening."
This is what I originally had and then started to question whether the following was correct...
"I see a lot of companies put this into writing, but your numbers show action and execution is happening."
I am confused because I recently wrote an email stating, "reading and writing is happening..." and it sounds correct.
Can someone help clarify?
