On “once”, “ones” and “one’s”

English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (GAB)

On “once”, “ones” and “one’s”

Once means only one time: I have only seen him once.

Ones is the plural of one; being more than one: These ones are not working.

One’s means belonging to one person: It is one’s duty to love one’s mum.

See the three words at play:
One’s intention to be good will lose its reward once you tell everybody about the ones you help.

Can you use them in a sentence too?
