"Someday" and "One day" When can i use "someday" and "one day"? Do they have the same meaning, but they have respectively rules about when i use them? Or maybe there is a big difference between them? *confused* Can you help me to give me an example of each of them, please?

"Someday" is indefinite. We do not know what day it is. For example "I hope that I will fall in love someday." "One day" is definite. It describes a day that we remember in the past, a day in the present, or a day we look forward to in the future. For example: "I remember that one day last week when the wind was blowing so strongly." "Today is my one day off from school this week." "I am sure that she said that next Wednesday will be the one day that we will eat dinner together."
