other, the other, another 与 others 的用法区别
(1) 指复数时,若泛指用 other(后接复数名词),若特指用 the other(后
接复数名词):
There are other ways of doing it. 做这事还有其他的办法。 Where are the other students? 其他同学在哪里?
(2) others 永远表示复数意义,且其后不能再接名词。其用法大致相当
于“other+复数名词”,同样地 the others 大致相当于“the other+复数名词”: Show me some others. 再拿一些给我看。
He died so that others might live. 他牺牲了自己使别人能够活下来。 I was tired, and so were the others. 我累了,其他人也一样。 He is more careful than the others. 他比其他人更仔细。 Lei Feng is always ready to help others.雷锋总是乐于助人。
(3) another一般只能表单数,且其后接名词时也只能接单数名词。但是
若其后有数词或 few 修饰时,则也可接复数名词: Have another piece of cake. 再吃一块蛋糕。 I’ve got another three minutes. 我还有三分钟。
(4) 与 some 对比使用时,用 others(此时与 some 同义): Some say yes, and others say no. 有人说对,有人说不对。
(5) 表示两者中的一个如何,另一个如何,可用 one...the other...。如: We have two daughter. One is a teacher, the other is a doctor.

These shoes do not match; one is large and the other is small. 这双鞋不相
配,一只大,一只小。
(6) the other 后接 day, night 等时间名词时,表示“几天前,几天前的
一个晚上”等。如: I bought a pair of sports shoes the other day. 前几天我买了双运动鞋。
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)”。other后接单复数均可,other one或other two students.
如:Do you have any other question(s)? 你还有其他问题吗?
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. the other指两个人或物中的一个时,只能用the other,不能用
another,此时的other作代词。
如:He has two daughters. One is a nurse, the other is a worker. 他有两个女儿,一个是护士,另一个是工人。
the other后可加单数名词,也可加复数名词,此时的other作形容词。如:On the other side of the street,there is a tall tree. 在街道的另一边,有一棵大树。
Mary is much taller than the other girls. 玛丽比其他的女孩高得多。 He lives on the other side of the river. 他住在河的对岸。

3.others是other的复数形式,泛指“另外几个”,“其余的”。在句
中可作主语、宾语。
如:Some of us like singing and dancing, others go in for sports. 我们一
些人喜欢唱歌和跳舞,其余的从事体育活动。 Give me some others, please. 请给我别的东西吧! There are no others. 没有别的了。
4.the others意思是“其他东西,其余的人”。特指某一范围内的“其
他的(人或物)”。是the other 的复数形式。
如:Two boys will go to the zoo, and the others will stay at home. 两个男
孩将去动物园,其余的留在家里。
the others=the other +复数名词,这在第2条中已经有所介绍。 5.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。
I have three daughters. One is a nurse, another is a teacher and another is a
worker.
我有三个女儿。一个是护士,另一个是教师,还有一个是工人。
