RiMMER's answer describes yours, his, hers, ours, theirs, its as "standard" possessive pronouns. For some people, it might help to think of this instead in terms of "definite pronouns" and " indefinite pronouns". When assessing the grammatical validity of these ones and those ones, you will probably run into a few schools of thought. Opinions often branch into one of three areas:

Sophie: Yeah, maybe ... he has got some brighter coloured clothes recently. OK then, I’ll get these for Uncle Bob and this shirt for Oliver and you’re getting a surprise! In The Oxford History of Classical Reception in English Literature, for example, one chapter's author uses the phrase “these ones.” There is no possession or possessive form involved when we use “ones.” The plural form simply shows that there’s more than “one” instance of something. For example, in the case of "A chair made of wood is as good as one made of leather", this sentence is equal to "A chair made of wood is as good as a chair made of leather". The two sentences are different from "A chair made of wood is as good as that made of leather." or "A chair made of wood is as good as the one made of leather.", because they are not talking about specific ones, the determiner "the" and the pronouns that represent "specific ones", such as "that", are not needed here.

I am wondering what the difference is between "ones", "the ones", "one", the one", "those", and "that"? Chairs made of wood are as good as ones made of leather=Chairs made of wood are as good as those made of leather. Chairs made of wood (or wooden chairs) are as good as leather ones. ( ones made of leather is not good language) I don't play video games, except ones [non-specific games] that get left at my apartment by friends. The only time where the plural form “ones” is used is when we’re talking about an unspecified number of things or a group of objects. We never use “ones” as a pronoun, meaning there is no way for it to be possessive in nature. For this reason, “ones'” is never correct.For that reason, you may still find people who will be unaware that saying these ones or those ones is incorrect. And to be fair, many of them won’t find much importance in that fact. Now we get to the plural possessive form. Unfortunately, there are no cases where we might use the plural possessive in any way. The singular and plural forms make sense. When talking about “one” as a number or a series or group of “ones,” we can use it in this way. Sophie: Well, I’m doing a bit of Christmas shopping and I want your advice. Look. I’m here in the market. Wait a second, I’ll put my video on, OK? Listen, what do you think about these for your Uncle Bob?

I agree that "one" is indefinite in the singular while "the one" and "that" are definite in the singular. It would be the same as changing “you” to “yous,” which isn’t something we can do, as there is no plural written form of you (“you” in the plural is still “you,” just like “one” is). The meanings are different. It seems that "those" is sometimes equal to "ones", especially when we compare things, while "one" is never equal to "that"The possessive of the pronoun one is spelled one's. There are many types of pronouns. Unfortunately, people explaining the mnemonic for remembering the spelling of its sometimes over-simplify and say something like "it doesn't have an apostrophe because it's a pronoun, like his or her". But actually, as already mentioned, there are many pronouns that have possessive forms ending in -'s. The pronoun it belongs to a particular subset of pronouns that have irregular (or at least irregularly spelled) possessive forms. Saying “these ones” or “those ones” is grammatically incorrect. I have been teaching for 33 years and I notice parents, my kids’ college graduate friends, storekeepers, bankers, teachers, and children using these phrases. I have heard it more in the past two years. It makes the person sound ignorant. Is it a regional way of speaking? I think not. I have read many posts and talked to people from many places. Some posts say that they can’t explain it, they just think it is wrong without knowing why. The biggest problem is that when I correct people and tell them why it is wrong, they respond with “who really cares?” One” is a funny word and not one that you’ll often come across in the possessive form. However, there is still a set of rules we need to follow, as you might one day find a good use for the possessive form. This article will explore those rules.
