Grammar
Subject / Verb
Hi, I'm having some difficulties determining the subject and verb for these two sentences.
Is the subject the underlined portion?
1. Contact and calendar sharing is included. <- Or is this the short way of writing 'Contact sharing is included and calendar sharing is included.' ?
2. Contact and calendar sharing are included. <- is this sentence grammatically correct?
Thanks

- Round and square dancing were enjoyed by all.
- #1 is a bit messy.
- If there's such a thing as sharing contacts and calendars, and the phrase is commonly used by your group, then the underlined could be the subject of the verb.
- But this seems unlikely.
