why are you eating chicken breast anon, are you trying to lose weight? fitness freak? eat thighs, you masochist, the flavor is worth the 40 calorie difference

>He doesn't cook prepare his food in way that's unappealing to others.

You basically asked for it.

Are* one of those chicken breasts for me.
While they want a single chicken breast, they are talking about multiple chicken breasts in the sentence.

>>8166327
'Is' refers to 'one' which is obviously singular

Right, but they're referring to a group of chicken breasts.
If there was only one breast it'd be, is that chicken breast for me?
There are obviously multiple so it'd be, are one of those breasts for me? They aren't specifying a single breast in the group.

>>8166662
Incorrect.

>>8166838
Explain how. Because I'm 99% sure im right.

>>8166470 "one" would be the subject of the sentence. One is singular, the prepositional phrase ("of those chicken breasts") after the subject doesn't change the verb. "Is one of those chicken breasts for me?" It's like saying "One of those chicken breasts is for me."

>>8166853
To clarify, it's correct to say "Is one of those chicken breasts for me, just like you would say "One of those chicken breasts is for me." Those are both correct sentences

>>8166853
The subject of the sentence are the chicken breasts though, aren't they?

>>8164802
>using speech marks with greentext.
Fuckwit.

>>8166860
It just sounds so dumb in my head for some reason

>>8166862
No, the subject is one, because subjects can't exist inside prepositional phrases

>>8166873
Well fuck. Maybe I should crack a book

>>8166217
You are welcome to my dinner table any day.

"No, now please leave, I'm busy and I don't want to be bothered."

Wow, so fucking hard....
