Hi,

Which is correct? and please explain

One of my coworkers is a marketing genius

or

One of my coworker is a marketing genius

you can send me an email: bmrustia@yahoo.com

Only #1 is correct. What you are saying is 'One from a group is . . .', so you need a plural word to indicate a group. 

Best wishes, Clive
