Subject and verbs
Hi.
In the following sentence, I know that the subject is 'lack' (I hope!). Does this mean that 'is/was/has' (instead of 'are/were/have') should always follow, as in:
"A lack of teaching is evident"
"A lack of teaching and professionalism was evident"
I know that the first example is correct, but what about the second?
Cheers, gang!

It's correct too. If it were something like {a lack of teaching and a lack of professionalism}, you would have to use WERE.
