[Grammar] It is I who am thankful

[Ferdie11]

Hello,


Is sentence number 2 also correct? How about in the past tense? What would be the correct verb to use?

1. It is I who am thankful.
2. It is I who are thankful.

Thanks for your help.

"I am".
("I are" is an incorrect conjugation since "are" always refers to a plural noun or pronoun.)

Thank you. How about in the past tense? What would be the correct verb to use?

The verb "to be" would be the correct one.

The simple past conjugation goes:

I was
You were
He/she/it was
We were
They were
