The majority of news and information is written in english
im a korean teacher. this sentence is form the textbook. news and information is uncountable. but two different uncoutable nouns means plular???If the subject has two or more uncountable nouns, for instance, science and technology, or friendship and cooperation, or air and water, should the verb be singular or plural?
[?] ; ???1) For the examples you have given, when used in a complete sentence, I use a plural verb form.
* Science and technology are advancing rapidly. * Air and water are necessary for human life.
???2) In all the cases you have mentioned you have used compound subjects made of 2 nouns. Regardless of whether they are count or non-count nouns, you would use the plural form of the verb.
