MY BRIEF ENGLISH TIPS - Another Vs. Other

 

    Hello everyone! How is your beginning of the month of November? To me, November is a special month because is near Christmas and is the month of my birthday. And you know how got more special? Because my article of my dissertation was accepted in a good journal! I never thought would take just five months for it to be published, the best present birthday!

    But, changing the subject... Today we talk a bit about Another vs. other, what's the difference?

    The key distinction between these two words lies in their usage:  “Another” is frequently used with singular words, and indicates one more or an additional item. “Other” is a lot of used for plural and noncount nouns that are general. 

Another: 

Another + Singular 

Would you like another cup of coffee?

I have one pen, and I need another.

I don’t like this room. Let’s ask for another.

Another + number + plural

I like this city so much that I’m going to spend another three days here.

In another 20 years, my laptop is going to be obsolete.

Other:

Other + Plural 

I have invited some other people.

I can’t help you because I’m busy with other things.

He has some money, but he needs to find other funds.

Stay strong! Until Next! bye bye. 💋
