other意思是“另一”、“另一些”,有复数形式,others既是复数形式。
后面既可接可数名词复数,又可接不可数名词。在句子中可作主语、宾语和定语。如:Some girls are singing under the bigapple tree and others are sitting on the grass talking。有些女孩在大苹果树下唱歌,别的就躺在草地上说话。another意思是“另外”、“又一个”,表示增加,一般要接可数名词单数,在句中可作宾语和定语。You have had several cakes.Do youreally want another one?你已经吃了好几块饼子了,真的还要一块?another后面接可数名词单数和复数,与the other主要从数量上区分,只有两个时用the other,在原先基础上增加用another。比如:This is one of your socks. Where is the other one 这是你的一只袜子,还有一只呢?I have eaten 4 cakes, but I still want another。我已经吃了4块蛋糕,但是我还要一块。
