Stay tuned because today I will show you the difference between other and another and how
to use them correctly hey guys teacher Prix here to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime
in English. So today I want to show you how to use other and another and sometimes others in
English this is a struggle many pre-intermediate intermediate advanced students have. How to
use them correctly what's the difference between them? so here I want to show you practical
examples and simple explanations to help you understand how to use these two guys. If you

kinds of subjects so don’t forget to subscribe if you haven't already. But here we go let's
talk “another”. Another will be used in singular situations, it usually comes before
a noun, ok. Another means one more, additional, an extra, one alternative, a different one.
Check out the example: Can you believe Jack bought another car! So Jack probably already
has a car. Or more than one, but he decided to buy an extra one, a new one an additional
one, a different one. Go Jack
Oh sweetie it's raining we'll have to go to the park another day so because it's raining
we can't go to the park so I said let's go another day, on a different day, ok?
One interesting thing you can do with another is to use another plus one for example I don't
like this T-shirt I want to try another one. Here in this case, I don't want to repeat
shirt. So I can use “one” I don't like this shirt I don't like this T-shirt so I
will try another one. I don't want to repeat shirt or T-shirt so I can say "one", this is
singular, remember I cannot use another in the plural. Another possibility is to use
another individually, alone, OK I don't like this sweater maybe I'll try another.
What is the problem most students make here they use another incorrectly because they
use it in the plural, I’ve seen many students using another in the plural, in plural sentences,
so watch out ok, analyze your sentences, be careful and pay attention. This is a mistake
we stop making slowly OK you understand the rules and then you put them into practice
Now, other. Hmm, this guy. Other means more. In addition to what you already have, more.
Another is one different, one additional, one extra. Now other is more, in addition
to what you already have. You can use with countable and uncountable nouns remember uncountable
nouns is a word that I do not use in the plural money for example is an uncountable word you
don't count money you count the value the quantity in terms of value but money is an
uncountable word, so other will also come before a noun or even a pronoun. I don't like
this shirt do you have other styles? Other styles. I used styles in the plural do you
have more styles, do you have other styles, additional styles you have this style but
I want to see more, more styles in addition to this one, other styles Could I use “another
styles” No. But I could use “another style” in the singular, that would be possible you
can also use “other” with "ones" in the plural remember it's the same idea of another
one let's go back to the example of the T-shirt I don't like this t-shirt do you have other
ones? Other t-shirts okay so I don't want to repeat the word t-shirt so I can say one
but in this case it is t-shirts, it is in the plural, so I have to say “ones”, ok?
And finally, you can also use “others” Hmm, but how do you use "others" in a sentence?
Others will be used to replace the object because you don't want to repeat it again
it's very similar to the idea of “ones” okay for example I don't like this magazine
okay let's look for others. So here I said I don't like this magazine let's look for
others, “other magazines” I could say other magazines, ok, magazines in the plural,
and then other, other magazines but I don’t wanna say magazines again so I could say let's
look for other ones or let's look for others. Others with the “s” is replacing magazines
or if I wanted to say in the singular just for one additional one for an extra one I
could say let's look for another one let's look for another magazine but in the singular.
There you go! This is the main difference between another other and others I hope this video
