This year has been very difficult for a lot of people. There have been new challenges and great changes. Some people have done incredibly this year, learning, growing, and becoming successful, but here at ABA we also want to acknowledge the tough time that a lot of us have had and the hard work it has taken to get through and survive the year.

This song by Ajay Stephens is a cover version of Maroon 5’s Memories. In this song, we remember the people who are no longer with us and the memories we’ve shared with loved ones we cannot be with.

One / Ones

ONE and ONES are pronouns that we use to substitute a countable noun that has already been mentioned in a conversation.

We usually find them after an adjective:
– My favourite car is the black one.
– Leave my old glasses on the table. I will wear the new ones.

After “the”:
– Do you see these girls? My sister is the one on the left.
– Mark and John were the ones wearing a disguise at the party.

After “which” in questions to ask for preference:
– You have three options. Which one do you prefer?
