What I find interesting IS/ARE
Hi all
Could you please take a look at this sentence?
"What I also find interesting about this movie IS/ARE the conflicts and relationships between the characters".
I am not really sure whether "what" or "the conflicts and relationships" is the subject of this sentence. This of course makes it quite difficult to decide which form of the verb "be" is correct.
I hope you can help.
Thanks!
