[Middle English on, from Old English ān; see oi-no- in Indo-European roots.]Usage Note: In formal usage, the pronoun one is sometimes used as a generic pronoun meaning "anyone": One would hope that train service could be improved. The informal counterpart of one is you: You never know what to expect from her. Trouble arises when one is used in a series of sentences, and there is a need for a relative pronoun to refer back to one. One option is to use one and one's repeatedly, as in One tries to be careful about where one invests one's money. But in a sequence of sentences this inevitably becomes tedious. A traditional alternative has been to use he, him, and his: One tries to be careful about his investments. This has the drawback of raising the specter of gender bias. Because of these problems, the temptation may arise to switch to you, but this will undoubtedly be distracting to the reader. It is better to use the same generic pronoun throughout. · As a generic pronoun, one should be avoided as the direct object of a verb or a preposition, especially if it comes at the end of the sentence. Thus the sentence Bad dreams can make one restless may sound stilted, but One must not tease the bears or they will attack one sounds almost ungrammatical. As a subject or in the possessive form, one fares much better. One should be cordial with one's colleagues sounds somewhat formal, but is acceptable. · Does the phrase One of x, where x is a plural noun phrase, take a singular or a plural verb? Sometimes the answer is straightforward. In the sentence One of every ten rotors was found defective, the one defective rotor is contrasted with, rather than being an example of, the larger group of rotors. A singular verb is almost always used here because it agrees with the singular "one." In 2001, 99 percent of the Usage Panel accepted the singular verb in this sentence. In many cases, the contrastive use of one of can be easily identified by the fact that the phrase containing one is introduced by the definite article: He is the only one of the students who has (not have) already taken Latin. Constructions such as one of those people who are more problematic. In the sentence He is one of those men who are constantly complaining about their jobs, the one man, rather than being in contrast to the larger group, is an example of a larger group of men who complain. The relative pronoun who appears to refer to men, and so the verb should be plural: are. But the use of a singular verb in sentences like these has long been common, even among the best writers, presumably because the relative clause, though semantically modifying the adjacent noun (men), feels like it fits equally well with the subject noun (he). The Usage Panel, accordingly, does not have a strict preference for the plural form. In our 2014 survey, although 72 percent accepted the plural are constantly complaining, 57 percent accepted the singular is constantly complaining. In some cases the Panel actually preferred the supposedly incorrect singular: 64 percent accepted The sports car turned out to be one of the most successful products that was ever manufactured in this country, while only 55 percent accepted were ever manufactured. Several Panelists commented that they decide by ear which verb form to use, and that appears to be the most viable advice. In some (but not all) cases, the sentence can be rewritten to avoid the choice: The sports car turned out to be one of the most successful products ever manufactured in this country. · Constructions using one or more or one or two always take a plural verb: One or more cars were parked in front of the house each day this week. One or two students from our department have won prizes. Note that when followed by a fraction, one ordinarily gets a plural verb: One and a half years have passed since I last saw her. The fraction rule has an exception in that amounts are sometimes treated as singular entities: One and a half cups is enough sugar. Note also that the plural rule does not apply to these one-plus-a-fraction constructions that are introduced by the indefinite article. These constructions are always singular: A year and a half has passed since I last saw her. See Usage Note at he¹.Word History: Why do we pronounce one (wŭn) and once (wŭns) while other words derived from one, like only, alone, and atone, are pronounced with a long o? Over time, stressed vowels commonly become diphthongs, as when Latin bona, the feminine singular of the adjective meaning "good," became buona in Italian and buena in Spanish. A similar diphthongization of one and once began in the late Middle Ages in the west of England and in Wales and is first recorded around 1400. The vowel sound underwent a series of changes, such that the word's pronunciation went from (ōn) to (o͞oōn), with two syllables, to (wōn) to (wo͞on) to (wo͝on) and finally to (wŭn). In southwest England, this diphthongization happened to other words beginning with the long o sound, such as oats, pronounced there now as (wŭts). Only in one and once did this diphthongal pronunciation gain widespread usage.

[before 900; Middle English oon, Old English ān; c. Old Frisian ān, ēn, Old High German, German ein, Old Norse einn, Latin unus one, Greek oínē ace on a die] usage: one meaning “any person indefinitely” is more formal than you, in the same sense: One (or you) should never give up hope. When the pronoun must be repeated, either one or a personal pronoun is used; the latter is more common in the U.S.: Wherever one looks, he or she finds industrial pollution. In speech or informal writing, a form of they often occurs: Can one read this without thinking of their own childhood? In the construction one of those who (or that or which), the antecedent of who is considered to be the plural form, correctly followed by a plural verb: one of those people who find fault. Yet so strong is the feeling for one as antecedent that a singular verb is commonly found in all types of writing: one of those people who finds fault. When one is preceded by only in such a construction, the singular verb is called for: the only one of her sons who visits her. See also he¹, they.

1. used instead of a noun phrase

You can use one instead of a noun phrase beginning with a when it is clear what sort of thing you are talking about. For example, instead of saying 'If you want a drink, I'll get you a drink', you say 'If you want a drink, I'll get you one'.

Although she wasn't a rich customer, she looked and acted like one.The cupboards were empty except for one at the top of the bookshelves.

Be Careful!
You can't use a plural form of 'one' in this kind of sentence. Don't say, for example, 'If you like grapes, I'll get you ones'. Say 'If you like grapes, I'll get you some'.

The shelves contained Daisy's books, mostly novels but some on history and philosophy too.We need more helicopters. There are some, but we need more.2. used instead of a noun

You can use one or ones instead of a countable noun when the noun comes after an adjective. For example, instead of saying 'I've had this car a long time, and I'm thinking of getting a new car', you say 'I've had this car a long time, and I'm thinking of getting a new one'.

I got this trumpet for thirty pounds. It's quite a good one.This idea has become a very popular one.We made money from buying old houses and building new ones.

You can also use one or ones instead of a countable noun in front of a relative clause or a prepositional phrase.

Of all the subjects, science was the one I loved best.Could I see that map again the one with lines across it?

You can use one instead of a singular countable noun when the noun comes immediately after any determiner except 'a'. For example, instead of saying 'I bought these masks when I was in Africa. That mask came from Kenya', you say 'I bought these masks when I was in Africa. That one came from Kenya'.

We need to buy a new car. This one's too small.He took the glasses and wrapped each one carefully.She had a bowl of soup, then went back for another one.

Be Careful!
Don't use 'the one' in front of 'of' and a name. Don't say, for example, 'This is my mug. That's the one of Jane'. You say 'This is my mug. That's Jane's'.

He has a northern accent like Brian's.See one - you - we - they

one

you">you we">we they">they1. 'one'

One is sometimes an impersonal pronoun, showing that something is generally done or should generally be done.

One doesn't talk about politics at parties.

You can also use the possessive determiner one's and the reflexive pronoun oneself.

Naturally, one wants only the best for one's children.We all understood the fear of making a fool of oneself.

One, one's, and oneself are fairly formal. Here are some other ways in which you can say that something is generally done or should be done:

2. 'you'

You can use you, your, yours and yourself, as we usually do in this book.

There are things that have to be done and you do them and you never talk about them.Ignoring your neighbours is rude.3. 'we'

You can use we, us, our, ours, and ourselves to say that something is generally done by a group of people that includes yourself.

We say things in the heat of an argument that we don't really mean.There are things we can all do to make ourselves and our children happier.4. 'they'

They can sometimes mean people in general, or a group of people whose identity is not actually stated.

They found the body in the river.

Some people use they when they are mentioning a saying or repeating a piece of gossip.

They say that the camera never lies but it doesn't always show the full picture.He made a fortune, they say.

They, them, their, theirs, and themselves are also used to refer to words such as everyone and anyone, person, child, and student.

See he - she - they5. 'people'

You can use people. This is also a fairly common use.

People shouldn't leave jobs unfinished.I don't think people should make promises they don't mean to keep.6. the passive

Instead of using one of these words and an active verb, you can sometimes use a passive verb. This is a fairly common use in formal writing.

If there is increasing pain, medical advice should be taken.Bookings must be made before the end of December.
