Thanks, that is a great technique. One more question, shooting games are my forte or fortes? – rag Dec 09 '16 at 21:29

"Is". Gerunds are verbs. Verbs can't be plural, so gerunds can't be plural. – Greg Lee Dec 09 '16 at 22:44

Is. An easy way to determine this, in most cases, is to drop the nouns and evaluate the verbs. Watching is... Reading is...
Hope this helps.
