							| Help - is or are 
 |  
							| I just have a quick question. 
 Is this correct,  �My favourite snack is eggs �? 
 Favourite snack is obviously singular, but eggs is plural... 
 Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
 Thanks :)

							| Hi Phil, The verb must always match the subject. So I would say "My favourite snack is eggs" or "eggs are my favourite snack"
 Hope it helps.......by the way aren �t you a native english speaker??
 Bye bye!
