    Exclamation Relative Clause

    I want to know which of these sentences are grammatically the corrects :

    1) You're the one who does that kind of thing, or
    You're the one who do that kind of thing.

    2) You're the only one who does it, or
    You're the only one who do it.

    3) You are the man who does this work properly, or
    You are the man who do this work properly.

    4) You're the only one who believes that it is true, or
    You're the only one who believes that is true
    .................................................. ...........................................

    Please can anyone to explain the correct use of (yet), because I am a little confused about it in some sentences that I saw.

    Default Re: Relative Clause

    Does, does, does, believes.

    It would be more orderly if you started a different thread for your question about 'yet', since it's an entirely different issue. I suggest that you provide some examples regarding your doubts.

    (1) Maybe you are confused between:

    (a) You are the one who does that kind of thing.

    (b) You are one of those who do that kind of thing.

    YOU ARE THE ONE WHO DOES THAT KIND OF THING

    You are the one (person).

    What person?

    The person who does that kind of thing. ("Does" agrees with "who," which refers to the

    singular word "person.")

    YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE WHO DO THAT KIND OF THING

    You are one of those people.

    What people?

    The people who do that kind of thing. ("Do" agrees with "who," which refers to the

    plural word "people.")

    Excellent explanation, Parser. This way of reasoning things out is most helpful for non-natives. It's very practical and avoids meddling with grammatical names and labels.
