How do you use is or are after a prepositional phrase?
Use "is" if the subject of the sentence is singular; use "are" if plural. "The fact that I ate after running *is* irrelevant. ("after running" is the prepositional phrase; "the fact" is the subject). The methods prisoners use to escape *are* manifold. ("to escape" is the prepositional phrase; "The methods" is the subject).

Does the subject of sentence dictate verb tense?
I wouldn't say that the subject dictates the verb tense, but the verb must agree in number with the subject. I would say that the writer dictates the tense.ALSOWhat you are writing about dictates the verb tense.If you are writing about something that happened in the past and is now finished then you would use past simple:I ran to school.If you are writing about something you do again and again ( a habit ) then you would use present simple:I run to school.If you are writing about something that happened for a length of time in the past you could use past continuous:I was running to school.And if something else happened while you were running to school you would use past simple:I was running to school and I saw a car crash.Notice all these sentences have the same subject "I".
