Chips and verb mood and very quick check which is fine that ships and writing

This sentence is not complete so it is difficult to determine the specific verb mood being used. However, if we were to complete the sentence it may be something like: "Chips are great for snacking." In this case, the verb mood is indicative. A quick check would be to make sure that the verb and subject agree in tense and number. In this case, "chips" is plural so the verb "are" is correct.
