  1. no...you can just say these..


  2. You only need to say 'these', but if you do say it, people will know what you mean.

  3. It's grammatically incorrect and should just be "these." Why? You can't pluralize "one" unless you're referring the the ones digit of a number or the number one itself. "These two" is grammatically correct, "These ones" is not.

  4. No! "These" is sufficient.

  5. You can say "these ones" and "those ones", but doing so is incorrect. Say "these" and "those" instead.  

  6. Oh, goodness sake, no! My roommate says that all the time, and it's grammatically incorrect and very irritating to hear as an English Major.

    You may say:

    "These"    for  [describing many things -- plural]

    or

    "This one"   [describing one thing -- singular]

    :]
