When is it Correct to Use Is or Are?
When to use “is” or “are”
Use is for singular nouns, and are when the noun is plural. This rule is based on subject verb agreement; in other words, the number of subjects and actions (verbs) referenced must match in number.
Think about it this way: the action (and by action I mean anything that we, as people, do and are capable of doing), cannot be more in number than the people that are present to physically do or perform them.
