问题描述:

only one of the students who are present is to speak at the meeting
我想问下.用is是因为only还是因为句子作主语,

用is是因为句子的主语是one student是单数,表示众多同学中的一个同学
中间定语从句的主语是students 所以用are

only one of the students who are present 是主语部分,其中,who are present 后置定语从句修饰 students ;而真正的主语是only one (student ),因此谓语动词用is
意思:会议上,只有一名出席的同学会发言.
