one/you/people

Hello teachers!

I have just gotten another question.

What are the differences between "one", "you", and "people"? I mean, when it is used like in the examples below.

"How do you spell that?"

"One might think that is expensive."

"People walk usually to church."

When is which of these used? I think all of them appeal to a not-defined person/persons.

Thank you in advance.

  • 'You' is commonly used in conversation.
  • So is 'people', but it can also be used in a more formal way, eg in more formal writing.

Swiss Jake"People walk usually to church."

Not on topic, but I think you want this word order: People usually walk to church.
