Isn't that one can be used as a pronoun too?
Like the sentence below,
One must keep his promise or nobody will believe him anymore.
My question is when one and ones are used as a pronoun what is difference between them?
Could anybody please help me with these?
Many Thank in Advance

In your sentence "one" is used as an impersonal pronoun. It refers to people in a very impersonal and general way. It means "a person". ("He" and "she" are personal pronouns.)
-----------------------------------------------
"One" and "ones" can be used as pronouns to refer back to individual things that have already been mentioned.
SINGULAR:
- Which car
