"Der Professor isst mit dem Vorsitzenden."

Translation: The professor eats with the chairman.

[Lenka.Svadova]

"Vorsitzenden"... isn't that a plural form? Der Vorsitzende (one) --> die Vorsitzenden (many). So shouldn't be there "with the chairmen" instead of "with the chairman"?

there's a whole group of nouns where you have to add an "n" or "en" at the end http://www.vistawide.com/german/grammar/german_nouns03.htm

Oh, thank you very much! I didn't get to this yet.

I heard "Der Professor ist mit dem Vorsitzenden". Is there anything wrong with this interpretation?

[Menschenkind]

ist = is; isst = eats. In german, you never 'are with someone' (ist mit dem Vorsitzenden), but 'at someone' (bei jemandem, bei dem Vorsitzenden), so your interpretation doesn't work, since they're probably having a business-lunch somewhere.

I submitted that very sentence and it was accepted.

It probably told you that you made a spelling mistake though.
