Question

Hi there,

Which is correct:

Your kindness, patience, encouragement and dedication *is* evident.

-or-

Your kindness, patience, encouragement and dedication *are* evident.

Thank you!
Michelle

Answer 1

The second one is correct. You have a plural subject (4 items, to be exact) so a plural verb form is needed.

It'd also be good if you put a comma after "encouragement."

Answer 2

Thanks, Writeacher. I thought the second one was correct, but for some reason it just didn't "sound" right to me :)

Answer 3

You're welcome!
