One / ones

• One y ones se utilizan para sustituir un sustantivo contable en singular y plural,

respectivamente. Este sustantivo tiene que haber sido mencionado antes para que sepamos a
qué se refiere.

Ejemplos:

- Which dress do you prefer? The blue one. (the blue dress)
- There were many books but she took the thickest one. (the thickest book)
- Which jumpers do you like best? The colourful ones. (the colourful jumpers)

• Para sustituir un sustantivo incontable se utiliza some en lugar de one/ones.

Ejemplos:

- Would you like some drink? I´ll bring you some.

- There isn´t any more paper. We need to buy some.

• Se puede omitir one/ones después de:

- which → Which (one) would you like?

- superlativos → She is the most intelligent (one).
- this, that, these, those → I ve got some pencils. Take this one/these ones/that one/those ones.
- either, neither, another, each, the first/second/last... → There are some cakes left. Would you
like another (one). (En estos casos resulta más formal mantener one/ones)

• No se puede omitir one/ones después de:

- the, the only, the main y every → She told every one what she thought of them; That´s the only
one left.
- Adjetivos → Will you take the blue folder? No, I prefer the red one.
