Can anyone help me with these two English sentences?
Adversity is the difficulties people meet in life.
Adversity are the difficulties people meet in life.
 
Which expression is correct?

Answer

Adversity is the difficulties people meet in life.

Answer

Adversity is the subject of the sentence.  Therefore, 'Adversity is the difficulties people meet in life', is the correct sentence.  In this sentence 'the difficulties' is the direct object of the sentence and does not affect the verb.

Answer

The 2nd sentence. Because dificulties is plural, therefore it is "are" not "is"
