rickycomDecember 2019 From: http://www.nativespeakeronline.com/confusing-words/the-difference-between-another-other-and-different The words another and other mean the same thing, except that another is used with a singular noun and other is used with uncountable and plural nouns: She’s going to the cinema with another friend. However, when we are talking about one of two things of the same type, the word other can be used with the article the or a pronoun (my, you, his, her, etc.) before a singular noun, for example: For a change, let’s go to the other cafe today. |
exRangerJanuary 2020 Much of the information @ the linked webpage is garbage. Let's look @ just two examples:
1. She’s going to the cinema with another friend.
> The natural way to say this is "She's going to the cinema with a friend."
2. She’s going to the cinema with other friends.
> "She's going to the cinema with friends."
W@W, so much junk @ the internet. Glad I studied Russian in the '70s under the guidance of actual humans and not anonymous web scribblings posted by God-knows-what/whom...
barnettmckeanDecember 2019 i think also they can also be used interchangeably to be specific, e.g let's go to the other cafe is more specific than let's go to another cafe
