"One of my hobbies is" vs "One of my hobbies are"

The correct phrase is 'one of my hobbies is.' In this case, 'one' is the subject of the sentence, so the verb 'is' should agree with it. 'Hobbies' is the object of the preposition 'of' and does not affect the verb form.

Last Updated: April 06, 2024

One of my hobbies is

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

Use 'one of my hobbies is' when referring to a singular hobby among several. The verb 'is' agrees with the singular subject 'one.'

Examples:

  • One of my hobbies is painting.
  • One of my hobbies is reading.
  • One of my hobbies is playing the guitar.

Alternatives:

  • My hobby is
  • One hobby of mine is
  • I enjoy
  • I like to do
  • One thing I like to do is

One of my hobbies are

This phrase is incorrect in English. The verb 'are' does not agree with the singular subject 'one.'
