I have a problem with the following sentence.

Your commitment, professionalism and support have been beyond what i could expect OR Your commitment, professionalism and support has been beyond what i could expect.

Normally i would have put 'have' but i am not sure and since i wll put it in a formal document please let me know.

Thanks in advance

Eliaki,

Your instinct is correct. This has to be 'HAVE' since you're talking about three things which makes it a plural.
