one of my friends are vs one of my friends is

The correct phrase you need here is 'one of my friends is.' In this case, 'one' is the subject of the sentence, so the verb 'is' should agree with 'one,' which is singular. 'One of my friends are' is incorrect because 'are' is plural and doesn't match the singular subject 'one.'

one of my friends are

This phrase is incorrect. The subject 'one' is singular, so the verb 'are' should be 'is' to match the singular subject.

The correct form is 'one of my friends is' because 'one' is the subject of the sentence and is singular. Use 'is' to agree with the singular subject.

one of my friends is

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English. 'One' is the subject of the sentence, so the singular verb 'is' is appropriate.
