A question from another forum:
Just like any other marriage, one key to keeping the relationships vibrant are regular date nights.
According to standard English shouldn't the agreement call 'is' instead of 'are'?
Thanks |

Yes: ...one key...is regular date nights.
The sentence you quoted is fraught with errors:
Is one key just like any other marriage?
The relationships? Which relationships? |
