Incorrect Usage:

“One of my friend is in Mumbai.” There’s something that’s incorrect in this

phrase. Can you figure out what it is?
 
Correct Usage: “It should be: “One of my friends is in Mumbai,” because I have
many friends and one of them is in Mumbai.
You might think it’s strange to have “friends is” because “friends” is plural and
“is” is the singular form, but actually it’s because the subject of this sentence
is ‘One’. “One of my friends is in Mumbai.”

2. Incorrect Usage: “Everybody Are Happy.”

Correct Usage: Words like everybody, somebody, anybody, and nobody are

actually singular, not plural. Even though “everybody” refers to a lot of people, it
takes the singular verb – so the correct sentence is “Everybody is happy.”
