Couldn’t stand to be kept away
Just for the day from your body
Wouldn’t wanna be swept away
Far away from the one that I love
After all that we’ve been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
you’re gonna be the lucky one
One as a Pronoun
We use ONE instead of repeating a noun. We use ONE for singular nouns, and ONES for plurals.
- What beautiful flowers! Can I have one? (one=flower)
- Who is your girlfriend?; The one in the red shirt
- I’d like a hamburger. One with lots of onion, please.
- Would you like to try these shoes, sir?; No, the black ones, please.
- Natural flowers are much better than artificial ones.
- Look at those children. The ones playing football. They’re from San Francisco.
We don’t use ONE for uncountable nouns, we use SOME (or nothing if it goes with an adjective)
- If you like mangos, I can give you one.
- If you like brown sugar, I can give you some.
- If you don’t like French food, we can buy Spanish (not: Spanish one)
Some grammatical words can be used with a noun or alone, so they don’t need to use ONE:
- Which do you like? (also: which one)
- He is the tallest (also: he is the tallest one)
- That’s your book and this is mine (not: ~my one~)
- Banana or apple? – I’ll take both (not: ~both ones~)
- I need more dollars, I have few (not: ~few ones~)
