Many thanks to you both... understand this a little better now.

It would appear that this is one of those things where, when spoken, it sounds different, like when people say of instead of have: really they are saying 'ave, but I see lots of people on the Internet writing, 'I would of done this...', which I know is wrong.

I was gettinf confused because the is / are choice is not always obvious at first (well, not to a person who's Mother Tongue isn'y English).

I think I have it now, but if anyone can clarify a very simple rule to define if I use is or are, I would like very much to know it.

There are many things I don't yet understand, so I thank you very much for your help.

Zoltar.
