One and Ones

1. We use one or ones to avoid repeating countable nouns:

ü Do you prefer the dark chocolates or the light ones?

We can't use ones without defining precisely which group of things we are talking about. Instead, we use some. Compare:

ü We need new curtains. Ok, let's buy green ones this time (ones with flowers on / those ones.

ü We need new curtains. Okay, let's buy some.

Ñ Okay, let's buy ones.

2. We do not use one to replace uncountable nouns:

Ñ Do you prefer white rice or brown one?

ü Do you prefer white rice or brown?

3. We can use one/ones after the and adjectives, but not immediately after a/an:

Ñ I'd like a loaf of bread. Can you pass me a one from the top shelf?

ü I'd like a loaf of bread. Can you pass me one from the top shelf?

ü These are interesting fossil specimens. This is an amazing one.

NB: We don't use one/ones after nouns used as adjectives:

ü I thought my memory stick was in my trouser pocket, but it was in my coat pocket.

Ñ …but it was in my coat one.

4. We do not use one/ones when we refer to an item that has previously been defined.

Compare:

ü I need a drink, a large one. (=any drink)

ü Where's my drink? Oh, there it is. (= my drink - a defined drink)

5. Instead of using one/ones after my, your, her, etc. we prefer mine, yours, hers, etc.

Ñ I'd really like a watch like your one.

ü I'd really like a watch like yours.

We can leave out one/ones:

after WHICH:

ü When we buy medicines, we have no way of knowing which (ones) contain sugar.

after SUPERLATIVES:

ü Look at that pumpkin! It's the biggest (one) I've seen this year.

after THIS, THAT, THESE, and THOSE:

ü The last test I did was quite easy, but some parts of this (one) are really difficult.

ü Help yourself to grapes. These (ones) are the sweetest, but those (ones) taste best.

after EITHER, NEITHER, ANOTHER, EACH, THE FIRST/SECOND/LAST, (etc.):

ü Karl pointed to the paintings and said I could take either (one), (or...either of them.)

ü She cleared away the cups, washed each (one) thoroughly, and put them on the shelf

We don't leave out one/ones

after THE, THE ONLY, THE MAIN, and EVERY:

ü When you cook potatoes, you shouldn't cut the ones that you don't want to cook now.

ü After I got the glasses home, I found that every one was broken.

after ADJECTIVES:

ü My shoes were so uncomfortable that I had to go out today and buy some new ones

However, after colour adjectives we can often leave out one/ones in answers

ü Have you decided which jumper to buy?' 'Yes, I think I'll take the blue (one).
