Is it "I read one of your comment" or "I read one of your comments"? [duplicate]
It's "one of my friends". The other option would be ungrammatical.
To spice it up a little, here are the stats from the Corpus of Contemporary American English and the British National Corpus:
COCA BNC
one of my friends 251 40
one of my friend 0 0
one of your friends 58 6
one of your friend 0 0
one of our friends 40 7
one of our friend 0 0
one of his friends 182 60
one of his friend 0 0
It would rather be "one of my friends".
Depending on the situation, you may want to use "a friend of mine":
- Possessives with of
- A friend of mine vs. one of my friends
Think of it this way: If you didn't have several friends, you wouldn't need to be specifying that you only met one friend. "One of" is indicating a particular member out of a set with multiple members in it, so it's correct to use the plural form: "One of my friends." If you only have one friend total, then you can just say "Yesterday, I met my friend."
Similarly, when you turn it around thus:
One of my friends is meeting me later
then it's correct to use the singular verb form, because you're still only talking about one person. (Many people get confused because "friends", plural, is right next to the verb "is", but "One" is the true subject of the sentence.)
