One should always do one's best

8/21
Resources

In Spanish we usually refer to people in general with phrases such as "One should always do one's best" or "When one loves what one does...". In the English language there are very similar expressions to talk about universal truths or to generalize about something, including ourselves in the expression.

How to use general expressions in English

Speaking in a general way allows us to express ourselves in a formal, general way and to include ourselves in that expression. By using the word "One", but instead of referring to the number one, we are generalizing and making reference. While the possessive form to refer to an object or something in particular people using "One's".

Let's look at some examples:- One* should always do one's best- One never knows, does one?- Does one eat donut burgers in the US?- One's health is much more important than anything else- One should not use one's phone while driving- One* should exercise every day.

Express yourself in a general way to create statements that everyone should follow or universal truths. What other uses do we have in English for these types of sentences?

They should be more responsible and stop texting while driving.

One should prioritize what is really important for oneself instead of allowing people put their expectations first for one’s life
