personal pronouns - "One of them was/were you"



If I am talking to somebody about a certain group of people in the third person, and then want to refer to the person I am talking with as one of those people, which do I say?




One of them were you



One of them was you.




Answer



The verb must agree with the subject 'one', therefore it's 'one of them was you'.
