In english we use apostrophe s or 's to show ownership of something for the most part there are other things we use an apostrophe s for, but in this certain situation it is used to show ownership
For Example. One's emotion, the emotion of that one person
Kate's dog. The dog belongs to Kate
Now the s apotrophe or s' is used to show ownership also, but it is for multiple people or things
Ex: The two boys' hats.
The Sanchezes' house ( Sanchez, sanchezes plural a last name)
Hope it helps

Is 'ONES' the same as 'ONE'S'? If not, what is the difference?
Ones is the plural of one.
Example: There are several ones in the number 341111167.
One's means belonging to one. The opostrophe is used to show ownership in English.
Gabriel's house = the house of Gabriel = A casa de Gabriel.
Por isso:
One's emotions = The emotions of one (one person). As emoções de alguém.

etc
The "one's" stands for "my, your, his, etc,".
