One в функции под-лежащего в предложе-нии со сказуемым, в состав которого входит модальный глагол.     One в форме притяжа-тельного падежа переводится местоимениями свой, своя, свое. One (ones) – заменитель ранее упомянутого существительного во избежание его повторения. It (личное местоимение) – подлежащее, заменяет ранее упомянутое неоду-шевленное существитель-ное. It – формальное подлежащее в безличном предложении.   It – дополнение (заме-няет неодушевленное существительное).

One never knows what he can do.     One must go in for sport.   One mustn't do it. One can't get this book anywhere. One should be careful when crossing the street. One may work in the laboratory every day. One should always keep one's word.     This book is more interesting than that one.     Where is my bag? It is on the table.   It is winter. It is five o'clock. It was clear that something had happened. Here is a picture. Look at it.   It was in the street that I saw him.

Никогда не знаешь, что он может сделать.     Нужно (необходимо) заниматься спортом. Этого делать нельзя. Нигде невозможно достать эту книгу. Переходя улицу, нужно быть внимательным. В этой лаборатории можно работать каждый день. Надо всегда держать свое слово.     Эта книга более интересная, чем та.     Где моя сумка? Она на столе.   Зима. 5 часов. Было ясно, что что-то случилось. Вот картина. Посмотрите на нее.   Я видел его именно на улице

ГЛАГОЛ (THE VERB)

По своему значению и функции в предложении глаголы разделяются на:

а) самостоятельные – write, speak, go;

б) вспомогательные, служащие для образования временных форм глагола – to be, to have, to do, shall, should, will, would;

в) глаголы-связки, служащие для образования составного именного сказуемого – to be, to become, to get, to grow, to turn;

г) модальные глаголы, выражающие отношение говорящего к действию и состоянию – must, can, may, should.

В зависимости от направленности действия глаголы разделяются на:

а) переходные, которые имеют после себя прямое, косвенное или предложное дополнение – to give, to bring, to show, to love;

б) непереходные, которые не принимают дополнения, например: to come, to go, to sleep.

Наиболее распространенными глаголами английского языка являются глаголы to be и to have. Они употребляются как смысловые глаголы в значении "быть, находиться" и "иметь"; как вспомогательные, служащие для образования видо-временных форм глаголов; и как модальные, выражающие планируемое действие в будущем (to be to) и необходимость совершения действия в силу определенных обстоятельств (to have to).

В отличие от других глаголов to be и to have имеют отдельные формы для 1-го и 3-го лица единственного и множественного числа: I am (was), he (she, it) is (was), we (you, they) are (were), I have (had), he (she, it) has (had).

Кроме того, они образуют вопросительную и отрицательную формы без вспомогательного глагола (do, does, did), за исключением глагола to have в модальном значении и в составе устойчивых словосочетаний типа to have dinner, to have classes, to have a rest, to have tea, etc.
