Have a doubt

I am a bit confused with this construction :

We have outlined the essential features that separate a successful organization from others.

features that separate or should it be features that separates

Pls advise

Tks in advance!

Features is plural, so separate is correct. The relative pronoun (that) can be used in the singular and plural. There is never a difference in English.
