About this deal

For that reason, you may still find people who will be unaware that saying these ones or those ones is incorrect. And to be fair, many of them won’t find much importance in that fact. I agree that "one" is indefinite in the singular while "the one" and "that" are definite in the singular. Note also, there are small changes you can make to such phrases that alter the meaning very slightly. With your example, there could be many variations. I think the one you want is: But the more numerous indefinite pronouns ( one, someone, somebody, nobody, another, etc.) take the usual -'s to mark the possessive.

Not all pronouns belong to either of these two categories. As tenfour mentioned in a comment, there's also the interrogative and relative pronoun who which has the irregularly spelled possessive form whose. How one and one's is different from other indefinite pronouns My main objection to OP's reasoning is that "ones" will not work alone to express generic plural (INCORRECT: *Chairs made of wood are as good as ones made of leather) unless it is premodified: 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).

One's" is a contraction of "one is" or "one has." It is also the possessive of "one." Examples of these are: 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? The 1286th UK No1 goes to Ellie Gouldings Love me like you do on the 14th Feb 2015=1286th UK No1 thus chronologically is the First UK No1 of 2015.

Wednesday, Oscar (August 12, 1989). "Pure Pop for Now People" (PDF). Cash Box. p.14 . Retrieved 2022-12-21. As it turns out, neither one is correct. It’s much better to simply say and write these and those. The extra wording isn’t needed because the “ones” are implied by the use of plural phrasing. If clarification is needed, it’s better to identify the objects in question. Sophie: Yeah, maybe ... he has got some brighter coloured clothes recently. OK then, I’ll get these for Uncle Bob and this shirt for Oliver and you’re getting a surprise! One’s” is the only correct possessive form for “one.” We can only ever write “one” in the possessive form as a pronoun, which means we can’t change it from singular to plural. There are no cases where “ones'” is the correct form, so it can be disregarded. There is no possession or possessive form involved when we use “ones.” The plural form simply shows that there’s more than “one” instance of something.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?” The definite pronouns you, he, she, it, we, they have possessive forms that are spelled without an apostrophe even though they end in "s". (Some definite pronouns have possessive forms that don't even end in "s", such as my/mine, her, our, their.) The singular possessive only applies when talking about the pronoun “one” (which is a very formal way of saying “you” or “I” depending on the context).

Now we have a similar situation with mister Biebers What do you Mean gets the No1 slot on 10th Sept=1301st UK No1 Finally, we thought a quiz might help you to understand the rules better. If you’ve paid close attention, you’ll have an easy time working out the answer for each of the following. I don't play video games, except ones [non-specific games] that get left at my apartment by friends. Remember, you cannot change the form of “one” as a pronoun, so “one’s” is the only correct possessive form in this manner. Quiz: Have You Mastered Ones Or One’s Or Ones’?In The Oxford History of Classical Reception in English Literature, for example, one chapter's author uses the phrase “these ones.” He is one of those people who work for the government. Yet the feeling that one is the antecedent is so strong that a singular verb is commonly found in all types 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. This is the home of one’s treasure, though we cannot speak to how one might react if they find us here.
