Well, actually, on second look, there are two rules that have been broken: aside from number agreement: "these", a plural demonstrative, modifying "one", a singular noun, there's the apostrophe faux pas: "one's". Your sentence should be: "These ones", without the apostrophe.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatRuleAmIBreaking/kggx/post.htm#51025Sun, 26 Apr 2009 03:32:29 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:51025Mister Micawber1http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatRuleAmIBreaking/kggx/post.htm#51025http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-51025.xmlI don't believe you're breaking any grammar rule, Guest (except for the incorrect apostrophe). 'Which shoes do you like?' 'I like these ones.' If you are writing more formally, however, you may prefer to drop the 'ones' as redundant, since 'I like these' is sufficient. This is a matter of style, however, not correctness.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatRuleAmIBreaking/kggx/post.htmMon, 26 Jan 2009 04:32:29 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:50980Guest2http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhatRuleAmIBreaking/kggx/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-50980.xmlI've caught myself saying "these one's" a lot. An example would be if I were at work doing some papers and I would say "I'm working on these one's." So which rule am I breaking because it sounds weird.
