Could you explain why different linking verbs are used in these two sentences?
1.She is the only one of the students who IS able to play the guitar.
2.She is one of the students who ARE able to play the guitar.
Thanks in advance : )
Hi,
For some reason I'm unable to submit an answer so I'll put it here in the comments.
In the first sentence "she is the only one" implies a singular subject so "is" (singular) is used. In the second sentence "she is one of the students" implies she is part of a group who can play guitar (plural) so "are" is used.
