(01) "Man" and "Horse" are one (because both are mammals). Here 'one' describes that both man and horse belong to the same genus.
(02) "John" and "Smith" are one. 'One' here shows that both are of the same species.
(03) You say pointing to two carpenters that they are one. Here 'one' means that both have same profession. Or the same adjective can be used for both.
(04) Churchill was an orator, writer, soldier and statesman. You may say that his oratory, penmanship, soldier ship and statesmanship were one, because they were combined in one person.
(05) One-pint milk and one-pint water are 'one', because both have the same quantity.
(06) Hot milk and hot water are 'one' because both are in the same condition.
(07) John and Smith are standing. You may say 'They are one', because both are in the same position.
(08) Robert has two sons, John and Smith. John and Smith are one, because they have the same relation with Robert.
(09) A human-body or a chair is one, because its components or parts are joined together. (But if the parts are disjoined or disintegrated, this 'one' will become millions).
(10) The beginning of counting is called 'one' as the beginning of theoretical line is called point. Countless numbers follows this 'one'.
