Question

One of my friends has or have is correct?

Answer 1

One of my friends has is correct .

Answer 2

'One of my friends has' is correct.

• The word "One" serves as the subject of this phrase.
• In order to be consistent with the subject, the verb must likewise be singular.
• So when someone says “one of my friends” they’re saying “one person out of my group of friends.”
• The “one” is singular, but as “friends” is referencing a group it needs to be plural.
