Hello everyone! Could you help me with this sentence?) "A lettuce and a carrot (is/are) all I need to make the salad" I always get confused when it comes to "all" 🙈

All can be tricky. If you turn the sentence around to “All I need to make the salad IS a head of lettuce and a carrot.” Because all = the only thing, even though the predicate is two things. But for sure as others noted your sentence has a plural subject and needs ARE.

Hello! It would be "are" because you are mentioning two things and therefore you need a verb that goes with the plural form. Also, I woould write the sentence differently: Lettuce and carrot are all I need to make salad. I hope to have helped you!

Some lettuce and a few carrots are all I need to make a good salad. Lettuce is an uncountable noun, therefore “some” is the quantifier used. Carrots is a countable noun, so a number of carrots or even “a carrot.” I hope this helps đŸ„ł
