is or are

Header and footer is/are shared as one copy of code.

I remember if the verb happens at same time, although there are more than one subject, the verb should use singular.
Which one should be used here? is or are?
  

Top answer

Header and footer are shared as one copy of code. When you have two subjects (header and footer), the verb is plural. Time has no factor at all in determining if a verb is singular or plural.
