“ONE OF my friend woke up at 8.50am… “
That is taken from an essay written by one of my students and it contains a very common error.

It is just one of many examples I can give. Can you now work out what the rule is when using “one of“, giving some examples of your own?
This here is one of the ways to enjoy myself tonight. 🙂

Which is one of the best books you have ever read?
