SKILL 60: DISTINGUISH OTHER, ANOTHER, AND OTHERS

Welcome once again, now we are going to be working with this simple skill. I hope that it will be useful and can help you to increase your knowledge and recognize better each of this rules.

There is a simple rule to help you remember the difference between another and other is:

another + singular noun

other + plural noun

others (a pronoun to replace other + plural noun)

Other, another and others are very easy to confuse.

Use another only to refer to an indefinite, singular idea. Others is used only as a plural pronoun (not accompanied by a noun). In all other cases, other is correct.

   Examples: 

I need another cup. (cup is singular so we use another)

I need other cups. (cup is plural so we use other)

I need others. (refers to other cups)
