"one/s" and "the one/s"

[Andrónico]

Hello! Please, correct my mistakes.

1-When must I use "the one/s" and when "one/s"?

2-What's the meaning of "DADE" in the expression "MIAMI DADE"?

3-What's the difference between "weapon" and "arm"?

4-What's the meaning of this sentence?:"Luc ran the most". I think (in/about?) two options:

A-Did Luc run the fastest?

B-Did Luc run during more time than the rest of runners?

5-Must the verb "to need" use auxiliar verbs? (I have read both cases: Need you this book?; Do you need this book?)

6- I read "Iraqi War History". I thought "Story" fits well here. When must I use "History" and "Story"?

TIA

1. Use it in a sentence, please.

2. Dade is the county that Miami is within. A U.S. county is a political subdivision within a state. The fifty states have about 3,500 counties. Sometimes the government of the big city in a county will form a team with the government of the county and operate a combined police force, for efficiency.

3. The words are more or less equivalent. Arm may be more poetic, and weapon more common.

4. Either Luc ran the longest distance, or he ran the greatest number of times.

5. Need you this book? = Do you need this book? BUT, "Need you this book?" is so archaic, or old fashioned, that everyone would think it incorrect. Don't use it.

The real answer lies in the way verbs transform from a statement into a question.

Statement: He broke the lamp.
Question: Did he break the lamp?

Statement: They write enjoyable songs.
Question: Do they write enjoyable songs?

Statement: You need this book.
Question: Do you need this book?

Observe how "do" jumps in to help the verb ask the question.

6. A story is any tale, whether past, present, or future, and whether fact or fiction. History is a true story about the past in accurate detail, usually for the purpose of preserving the facts, or revealing the facts to those who don't know.
