word usage - Use of "is"/"are"?


What is correct to say in the following case? :


My shoes are something I need for..


Or


My shoes is something I need for..



Is one of these sentences wrong grammatically or are they both correct, and why?


Thanks in advance!



Answer



In English you always use/say are after a plural subject.


In this case the subject is my shoes and it can be replaced by they instead of it. So with a plural subject, are conjugation is used.
