Consider what that would do to your own sentence.

AnonymousThose pancakes look tasty. Can I grab one?
As shown.

a pancake = one (not 'a one')
the pancake = the one

That pancake looks good. Can I have it? / Can I have one like it.
One pancake has blueberries; one has walnuts. Can I have the one with walnuts?
