but在做形容词的时候有only的意思，既然这样，为什么定语从句不用is呢？

回帖的先谢谢啦

that修饰communities

简禾

可是有but one来限制呀，就是一个啦，所以应该是is呀？其实我也不太确定的

简禾

好像先行词被only one of限制的时候，定语从句用单数谓语动词， 当是one of限制的时候，定语从句用复数谓语动词

这样说究竟对不对呀，这道题到底是该怎样的呀

我的理解 but这里是副词，不是only的意思而是just的意思

白勇语法里说，如果是the only/but one of, 后面的定语从句就是修饰one的，定语从句的谓语动词用单数；如果(only/but) one of 前没有定冠词the, 定语从句就是修饰one of/only one of/but one of 后面的复数名词，定语从句里的谓语动词就用复数。看好这道题目，没有the的。所以用复数。

那有the but one of 这种说法吗？but 这里指啥啊
