1. 不定代詞other相當于名詞或形容詞,可以在句中作主語、賓語、定語等。相當于名詞時,有復數形式others。

2. 不定代詞another是由an和other構成,由此可以判定它只能代替或修飾可數的單數名詞,前面不再用冠詞。可以在句中作主語、賓語、表語和定語。
作主語:One (girl) wanted to read, and another wanted to watch TV.
作賓語:Please give me another.
作表語:She is a fool, and her sister is another.

3. 對比other與another
(1)the other 用于兩者中的另一個,another 指三者以上中的另一個:
He has two toys. One is for me, the other is for himself.
All these are not good. Show me another, please.
(2)another 還有 “再……” 的意思,other 有 “另外” 的含義:
Have another cup of coffee, please. 再喝一杯咖啡吧!
The girl is much cleverer than other three. 這女孩比另外三個都聰明。
(3)修飾數詞的結構不同:數詞+other+復數名詞= another+數詞+復數名詞:
這周我多看了兩本書。
I read two more books this week. =I read two more books this week.
(4)one another 與 each other:兩者均表示“彼此”、“互相”。
一般認為,each other 用于兩者間,one another 用于三者或以上,但在現代英語中,兩者??蓳Q用。
We should always help each other.
They don’t agree with one another.
另外,同學們還要注意,注意:other表泛指,the other 表特指,與其復數others和the others 同理。
