The verb "is" is singular and the verb "are" is plural.
"Is" is used with singular subjects eg He is very happy. He is going to a party. The doctor is very good.
"Are" is used with plural subjects eg They are very happy. They are going to a party. The doctors arevery good.
Compound subjects and objects, joined by and use "are". Those joined by or use the singular "is".
Examples:
Tom and Bill are going.
Either Tom or Bill is going to pick you up.
*A point that is obvious in speech occurs when you have a compound subject where one subject is plural and the other is singular. In this case, the plural form is used if the closest subject is plural.
Example:
Either the ministers or the king is At Fault.
Either the king or his ministers are at fault.
