"One of the things that make/makes him great is he brings it every night."

"One of the things that make/makes him great is he brings it every night."

'One' is the subject; 'things' is the object of the preposition 'of'.

Is 'make' or 'makes' the correct verb choice.

Why?

Thanks.

goronsky 'One' is the subject Yes. It's the subject of "is", so you're OK there. "things" is also a subject.
