A BIT ABOUT GRAMMAR LEARNING: CÁCH SỬ DỤNG " OTHER"

OTHER

The use of the word other is often a cause of confusion for foreign students Study the following formulas

WITH COUNT NOUNS

an + other + singular noun (one more)

another pencil = one more pencil

the other + singular noun (last of the set)

the other pencil = the last pencil present

other + plural noun (more of the set)

other pencils = some more pencils

the other + plural noun (the rest of the set)

the other pencils = all remaining pencils

WITH NON-COUNT NOUNS

other + non-count nouns (more of the set)

other water = some more water

the other + non-count noun (all the rest)

the other water = the remaining water

NOTE : Another and other are nonspecific while the other is specific

If the subject is understood, one can omit the noun and keep the

determiner and other so that other functions as a pronoun If it is a plural count noun that is omitted, other becomes others The word other can NEVER be plural is it is followed by a noun

I don’t want this book Please give me another

(another = any other book – not specific)

I don’t want this book Please give me the other

(the other = the other book – specific)

This chemical is poisonous Others are poisonous too

(others = other chemicals – not specific)

I don’t want these books Please give me the others

(the others = the other books – specific)

NOTE: Another way of substituting for the noun is to use other + one

or ones

I don’t want this book Please give me another one

I don’t want this book Please give me the other one

This chemical is poisonous Other ones are poisonous too

I don’t want these books Please give me the other ones
