You are one of the best person I have ever met in my life vs You are one of the best persons I have ever met in my life

"Persons" is only used in very specific situations, like some legal documents. "You are one of the best people I have ever met in my life" is the correct way to write this compliment.

This phrase is not correct. Don't use it.

"You are one of the best person I have ever met in my life "

You've met more than one person in your life, so you need to use the plural form of "person."

Most English nouns are made plural by adding "-s" or "-es," but "person" doesn't follow that rule.

The plural form of "person" is "people."
  • You are one of the best teachers I have.
  • I know we haven't known each other you are one of the best judges of character I've ever met.
  • People tell me that you are one of the best connected men in London.
  • You are one of the best interns I've ever had the pleasure to work with.
  • If you learn that you need to improve the way you teach fractions, you should be able to watch a video of the best person in the world teaching fractions.
  • My ankles are one of the best things about me.
  • These funds are one of the best instruments to support economic development of the country by providing SMEs with the necessary resources to increase their innovative potential.
  • I think that all these reforms are one of the best ways of investing in Tunisia's future and helping it establish a stable democracy.
  • You are the best person I have known good... ...And even Have to try...
  • Okay, first of all, you are going to have one of the best stories there.
  • You are an excellent student, One of the best I have ever had.
  • The only... the only thing I can do, when I speak to Professional Standards, is tell them that you are one of the best, best young detectives I've ever come across and hope that someone somewhere with some authority
  • The use of labelling systems is more or less a prerequisite for effective filters, which, in turn, are one of the best ways of protecting children.
  • Modernised buildings are one of the best signs of the European Union in the region.
  • The person you see on the right hand side is Paul DeLong-Minutu. He's one of the best communicators that I've really ever dealt with.
  • I need to be the best person I can be.
  • And she's just the best person I know and a scientific genius.
  • No! Guys, my mom is the best person I know.
