Queries for English

Remember we discussed this?

Mary is one of the students who have done honour to the college.

(Adjective clause modifies the plural noun "students." "Students" is the antecedent of "who."

In the above sentence Mary is just one of the students. So at least two students have done honor to the college.

Compare that to:

Mary is the only one of our students who has achieved national recognition.

In this case, "one," not "students," is the antecedent of "who."
Compare to the sentence above:

Of all our students, Mary is the only one who has achieved national recognition.


IT IS  AN ANNUAL event. Not "A". Why? If you check the transcript of "annual", it starts with "a". :)

I hope this clarifies...
