Thanks,

But if the same sentence has 'Problem' instead of 'Problems'?

A) Identifying problems is difficult.
B) Identifying problems are difficult.

Which one is correct.
Dose it depents upon PROBLEM or IDENTIFYING??


any sentence starting with gerund is a participle noun phrase, which is a singular. so singular verb is required.
