Other reasons

The string an other is vanishingly rare in English. In contrast another is positively pervasive. I think it would be fair to say that the second has eclipsed the first to the point of making the first unacceptable, even though it is a grammatical string. Both an and another are members of the category of determiners, while other, on the other hand, is an adjective. There's no grammatical. Perhaps, though, other equivalent phrases can highlight the difference in usage if you replace except for with with the exception of and other than with apart from Then we have Are there any vegetables with the exception of asparagus? which is clearly wrong. So the two phrases have overlapping uses, but are not equivalent. Which of these two sentences would be correct? I recall that he was out looking for something or another. I recall that he was out looking for something or other. Basically, should I use something. There's a formula: another = an + other. Think of it as of an article plus the word other that have historically merged into one word. Grammar requires some article before other book ; either the or a. Depending on the context, you get either You need to buy the other book (if, for instance, the guy bought only the first book out of the set of two) or You need to buy an_other book. I thought this might have already been asked, but apparently not. Is using the phrase one another considered equivalent to the phrase one and other ? Is one of the two considered right and the. 而the other和another、others的区别又是什么呢？同理，the other表示一个特定的“其它”对象，而another表示任意一个“其它”对象、others表示多个“其它”对象。既然the other表示一个特定的“其它”对象，下面这个例子是正确的吗？ There are three kids in the room. 3 The formal discourse marker used by the OP; on the one hand. on the other hand expresses two contrasting ideas, opinions or facts. In view of this fact, I suggest the following alternatives: Although I like product A, product B also appeals to me strongly. I like product A, although product B is also appealing. The other team won. (There were only 2 teams that could have won and the other team did.) The other three schools rejected me. (We know 3 schools rejected the person.) Another is an and other put together. It is other with an indefinite article (an) before it. This indicates the number of other things is unknown or unspecified. My team. 4.other不能单独出现，要么the other，要么others的复数形式 others=other+n else和other的区别 else 其他的，放在疑问代词，疑问副词或不定代词之后。 What else do you see？你还能看到其他的什么吗？ Is anyone else going to play basketball？还有其他人打算去打篮球吗？ Other (other + plural or uncountable nonspecific noun) You can say: 'If I had another five dollars I could afford it.' - Five dollars is single unit of money. I have to admit that this answer lacked more information previously. With numbers it is acceptable to use another, but there are exceptions.
