1. My advice today is/are just rough guidelines. You will find your own ways....
2. What are you going to do with all these food?
Here food is plural?
3. A: That (poem) sounds familiar.
B: That's because it's famous. It's Shakespeare.
--- Is the dialogue gramatically okay or should it be expressed otherwiese? How about It's Shakespeare's?
Thank you for your attention. |

Hello Sabrinak -
1 - 'is' because 'advice' is singular.
Your example might be better if you change it to: My advice today is just 'a rough guideline'.
2 - What are you going to do with all 'this' food.
3 - "It's Shakespeare." is fine. Philo |
