(Keï obedoval – dlhšia udalos, zaèul vonku psa.)

One a ones používame, keï nechceme opakova poèítate¾né podstatné meno. One používame
pre jednotné èíslo, ones pre množné èíslo:

som inteligentnejšia ako ona.)

alebo viac miest a vecí, alebo ak chceme vyjadri, že je nieèo unikátne:
- Who is the fastest runner in your class? (Kto je najrýchlejší bežec u vás v triede?)
