One or Ones as Pronoun

• One dan Ones digunakan saat kita menggabungkan 2 kalimat dengan objek yang sama, tapi dengan sifat yang lain.

• One dan Ones dipakai untuk menggantikan benda atau objek, jadi tidak perlu lagi diikuti dengan kata benda sesudahnya.

• One dipakai untuk menggantikan kata benda atau objek tunggal, sedangkan ones dipakai untuk kata benda atau objek jamak.

Contoh 'one': Herry is a friendly boy, but Jimmy is a talkative one. One menggantikan 'boy'.

Contoh 'ones': My puppies are brown-white, but those ones are black. Ones menggantikan 'puppies'.

Perhatikan: setelah menggunakan kata ganti one/ones, kata benda yang digantikan tidak perlu disebut kembali.

• BENAR: Herry is a friendly boy, but Jimmy is a talkative one.
• SALAH: Herry is a friendly boy, but Jimmy is a talkative one boy.
