verb

In a sentence: 'What conditions is acupuncture used for?', I'd go for 'are' or could 'is acupuncture' be more phonetically correct?

Thanks

Re: verb

'Is' is correct. e.g. Acupuncture is used for many conditions. But 'What conditions are treated by acupuncture' is correct. 'For what conditions is acupuncture used?' is even more correct as we shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition.

Your use of phonetically is incorrect though.

Phonetically means spelling something the way it sounds.
