is or are.

The sentence I used in my essay was : "we can change the world and the practices that is keeping people in extreme poverty"
is the use of "is" correct ?
  

Top answer

First of all, you have a double object of your verb (world & practices). Secondly, practices is plural. Therefore you must have the plural verb are.
