Hi Tom

Have a look here (scroll down to "compound subjects") and tell me if you think it fits the situation in the sentence.

Hello,

The verb of the compound subjects in the second sentence has not been addressed yet. The sentence should read "The morning dew and mist make the world look dreamy" instead. Could you please look into this matter?

Thank you.

Best wishes,
