Ways Of Using One From Ones

ONE and ONES are pronouns that are used to replace the noun (singular or plural noun) mentioned that we don’t want to reepeat.
 
We use ONE to replace the singular noun and ONES for plural noun (these nouns refer to people or things).
 
We don't use One and Ones before an uncoubtable noun.
 
Ways of using One and Ones
 
E.g: - See those two girls! Helen is the tall one and Jane is the short one.
        - I don’t like these sweaters. I prefer those ones.
        - You can borrow a book. Which one do you want?
        - There are a lot of dresses here. Which ones are yours?
E.g:
Mai: That’s my house.
Hoa: Which one? (= house)
Mai: The one with the white walls.

Therefore, we use ONE to replace “house” and avoid repeating three times in three short sentences.
E.g:
Trung: Look at those boys!
Minh: Which ones? (= boys).
Trung: The ones in white shirts and dark blue trousers.
