Another / Other / Others
Oftentimes, people get confused when using the words “other” and “another.” How do we distinguish between the two? Simple. It’s a matter of singular and plural.
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 + plural noun
others (a pronoun to replace other + plural noun)
- 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)
