HyaSkyOctober 2019 Just think of "another" as "an other." Another reason to go to school/An other reason to go to school... I want another coffee!/I want an other coffee! You should only write "another," but you can think of "an other" to make it easier. Basically, 'another' is just 'other' with an indefinite article (a/an) in front of it. If you said "I want the other coffee!" that means there is a specific coffee you want. You don't just want AN other coffee: You want THE other coffee. "I want to go to another school!" - It can be any school. "I want to go to the other school!" - It is a specific school. "Would you like another coffee?" - If a server asks you this, they want to know if you want MORE of the SAME coffee. Now imagine there are only two types of coffee: Coffee A and B. They are both on the table. You drink some of Coffee A. When you finish, the person next to you asks, "Would you like the other coffee?" - this means they are asking if you want Coffee B, because you already drank A, so it's not "the other." |
arvinaOctober 2019 thank you so much darling
exRangerOctober 2019 But wait -- there's more: - "another" implies something else that is indefinite; - "other", usually preceded by the definite article "the", often implies something else that is "definite", i.e., a known entity or other sundry phenomenon. * note that in the case of the word "another", the indefinite article "a" is even built into the word. |
arvinaOctober 2019 please Give me an example
svyatoslawOctober 2019 We use "another", when we are talking about the next, but not last, thing in a row. But we use "the other" when we say about the last thing in a row. E.g. there are three people at the bus stop. The first is a man, another is a woman and the other is a kid. |
