Is the following sentence grammatically correct?

The feedback from the small amount of people in Africa that has been so lucky to receive a blanket is incredible.

I would want to change the word 'has' to 'have'.

Best Answer

Yes, change to 'have' because it is a plural number of people that have received a blanket. I would change 'small amount' of people to 'small number' of people.
