Subject "interests" conflicts with verb "is."
Hi,
I would appreciate some assistance with a grammer question. I have to write an essay about my academic interests and repeatedly throughout the essay I say, "One of my academic interests is journalism" or "Another of my academic interests is creative writing" but when I run a grammer check on my essay it flags these phrases and says, "Subject "interests" conflicts with verb "is.". I have to say what my academic interests are one at a time so I have to start by saying, "One of my academic interests is ....... Can I do this or is that grammatically incorrect?
Thank you
