About This Quote
The number one, or first, is the first letter of the alphabet. The number one refers to the first event or thing that happens. When someone says that something is the first thing they have ever done, they are saying that it is the first time they have done it. The word "one" can also be used to describe something that is exciting or interesting, as in "This movie is so exciting!" or "I really enjoyed this book."
