English term or phrase: a multitude of opportunities is unfolding
Bonjour, c'est la question bête du jour.

Pour la traduction, pas de problème, mais en anglais (je fais uniquement de l'eng-fr), ne conjugue t'on pas comme en français :
-Une multitude d'occasions se présentent
-a multitude of opportunities are unfolding

Ce sont les occasions qui se présentent, pas la multitude de celles-ci.

Y a t'il une faute de conjugaison dans

, a multitude of opportunities is unfolding

?? C'est une question qui me taraude depuis tout à l'heure

Explanation:
Non, il n'y a pas d'erreur. C'est la règle de grammaire des noms collectifs, et dans votre exemple Multitude est un nom collectif. En français, le verbe qui suit un nom collectif - sujet - peut se mettre au singulier ou au pluriel selon ce sur quoi l'auteur veut insister, sur la multitude ou sur les occasions.
