In my whole life i've been taught that when 2 nouns joined by the "and", the collective noun is considered plural and the verb must agree to its noun.
But according to this question:-
giuseppe-alessi-a-world-class-chef-whose-life-has-been-a-search-for-73083.html
the "Draws" here indicated otherwise. " a poet and a philosopher" is a singular noun??
Can anyone help please?
Thank you

Here poet and philosopher are describing the noun Giuseppe Alessi. Hence, they aren't collective nouns but adjectives. The verb 'draws' is an action done by the subject of this sentence - Giuseppe Alessi and is hence, singular. The trick here is to notice that it says 'who draws' which means a person (singular) is drawing inspiration. Hope it's clear.
Please hit kudos.
