other是泛指的,也是形容词要加名词
other及其变化形式在初中教材中多次出现,而且它的变化形式很多,有以下几种：
the other,others,the others,another 等.它们的用法现归纳如下；
1.other可作形容词或代词,做形容词时,意思是“别的,其他”,泛指“其他的（人或物）”.如：Do you have any other question(s)?Ask some other people.问问别人吧!Put it in your other hand.把它放在你另一只手里.
2 another=an other,既可作形容词,也可作代词,只能用于三个或更多的人或物,泛指同类事物中的三者或三者以上的“另一个”,只能代替或修饰单数可数名词.
如：I don’t like this one.Please show me another.
我不喜欢这一个,请给我看看另一个.
