The plural of One?

Question

I have a statement:>'The writer says we must all feel excitement and strangeness at the idea of going to sea.'Now I have to remove "we" here and replace it with "one" or any other third person.What can I do? I am thinking of replacing 'we' with 'one' but is that good?

Answer 1

In that phrase, there's no need to pluralize "one." It makes perfect sense replacing "we" (first person plural) with one (third person singular), just take out the "all"

"One must feel excitement and strangeness ..."

You could make it "they" or "people" (third person plural), as well.

"People must feel excitement and strangeness ..."

Ones is the plural of one, but it can get a little awkward. Read a sentence aloud to yourself. You can usually tell what sounds "right."
