Now we have a similar situation with mister Biebers What do you Mean gets the No1 slot on 10th Sept=1301st UK No1 Take a noun for example. Some people say a dog=one, dogs=ones, the dog=the one=that, and the dogs=the ones=those. It's a rule of thumb, but what I found was that this is not always correct. There are exceptions. Except to be clear in the last example, you can probably sense that adding the extra word “ones” adds more than is needed. Most native speakers will also intuit improper phrasing. Many will consider using the extra words to be poor grammar, particularly in the case of “these ones.” Why Are These Ones and Those Ones Used So Often?

One” works as a pronoun similar to “you” and “I.” However, we rarely use it in spoken or written English. Still, it comes with a possessive form that is correct should we need it. I agree that "one" is indefinite in the singular while "the one" and "that" are definite in the singular. Sophie: This one? Really? Do you think it’s Ollie’s style? It’s a bit loud, isn’t it? He usually likes darker colours ... and I’m not sure about the flowers. One” by definition is a single number. How can you add an “s” to the word one? This would make it plural. The word one is a singular word. It can never be considered a plural. It should never be combined with “these or those.” The word one should never have an “s” added to it. Think about it. How can one mean more than one?

One” is a funny word and not one that you’ll often come across in the possessive form. However, there is still a set of rules we need to follow, as you might one day find a good use for the possessive form. This article will explore those rules. Ones or One’s or Ones’: Which Is The Correct Possessive Form? This is the home of one’s treasure, though we cannot speak to how one might react if they find us here.

Sophie: Well, I’m doing a bit of Christmas shopping and I want your advice. Look. I’m here in the market. Wait a second, I’ll put my video on, OK? Listen, what do you think about these for your Uncle Bob? Sophie: I’m not sure ... but maybe you’re right. I mean, they’re pure silk. OK, so you think they’re perfect for Bob? The meanings are different. It seems that "those" is sometimes equal to "ones", especially when we compare things, while "one" is never equal to "that" I don't play video games, except ones [non-specific games] that get left at my apartment by friends.One can find logic in adjusting the singular this one and that one to the plural these ones and those ones. However, a quirk of English grammar is that the “ones” component becomes implicit with the plural. In other words, it’s simply one of those rules you learn as you go as you refine your linguistic knowledge. Ones' could be anything from dice, to coins, to plastic counters. The idea is to teach children that things can be grouped into larger numbers to be more easily counted and organised. Why is it important to learn about the concept of ones and tens? The singular and plural forms make sense. When talking about “one” as a number or a series or group of “ones,” we can use it in this way.

When assessing the grammatical validity of these ones and those ones, you will probably run into a few schools of thought. Opinions often branch into one of three areas: Now we get to the plural possessive form. Unfortunately, there are no cases where we might use the plural possessive in any way. Saying “these ones” or “those ones” is grammatically incorrect. I have been teaching for 33 years and I notice parents, my kids’ college graduate friends, storekeepers, bankers, teachers, and children using these phrases. I have heard it more in the past two years. It makes the person sound ignorant. Is it a regional way of speaking? I think not. I have read many posts and talked to people from many places. Some posts say that they can’t explain it, they just think it is wrong without knowing why. The biggest problem is that when I correct people and tell them why it is wrong, they respond with “who really cares?” It would be the same as changing “you” to “yous,” which isn’t something we can do, as there is no plural written form of you (“you” in the plural is still “you,” just like “one” is).

Some people may argue that "those" refer to "specific ones", but in this case, it somehow refers to all of the chairs made of leather in general.
