Today I was playing the video game Assassin’s Creed Syndicate on my PC. In a mission where the player whose name is Evie Frye meets a guy, the guy says I thought Jacob was coming but that

I am glad that it is you who have come.

After hearing this, I got a little bit confused because I would have used has instead. So native English speakers, could you please tell me which verb is suitable to use here?

    If ‘you’ is singular, then it is ‘has’ not ‘have’. – cloudsafe Feb 19 '18 at 14:04

    @cloudsafe: that's not the way it traditionally worked (although the usage is slowly drifting away from the traditionally correct grammar). See Ngram. – Peter Shor Feb 19 '18 at 14:11
  • @PeterShor Indeed, for although “it is I who am” isn’t particularly common, “it is I who is” does not even occur. Therefore it must agree with the person preceding who, which with you is always plural agreement. – tchrist Feb 19 '18 at 14:22
