Dear friends,
Which one should be said here and why:
One of the subcategories of the interactive dimension is/are evidentials.
can "is/are" refer to evidentials, or it could just refer to "one"? |

I agree. You are talking about ONE of the subcategories. Singular. So it is indeed �Is �. |

Word Usage???
Evidential is an adjective.
I �ve never seen �evidentials � used this way before (as a noun made plural with �s �).
Maybe others have, or maybe it �s a special use to do with interactive dimensions.
