not one of us is..

not one of us are

it's is

ruthmollymummy · 29/04/2008 09:23

she is not
we are not

i thought "is" was for singular?

stuffitllama · 29/04/2008 09:24

it is singular
none means no one or not one

none of us is perfect
NOT
none of us are perfect

trust me

AMumInScotland · 29/04/2008 09:24

is

not one of us is

It does look odd, but I'm sure that's the grammatically correct one

ruthmollymummy · 29/04/2008 09:25

and you're right stuffit! if you break it down like that not one of us is - because then it becomes singular - not one of us is
we are not

none of us still refers to a group....

IdrisTheDragon · 29/04/2008 09:26

None of us is
