Other as a determiner

If we use other before a singular countable noun, we must use another determiner before it:

I don’t like the red one. I prefer the other colour.

Other as a pronoun

We have to solve this problem, more than any other, today.

As a pronoun, other has a plural form, others.

I’ll attach two photos to this email and I’ll send others tomorrow.

The other

The other as a determiner

The other with a singular noun means the second of two things or people, or the opposite of a set of two:

This computer here is new. The other computer is about five years old.

The other as a pronoun

We can use the other as a pronoun, especially to refer back to something which has been mentioned already in the sentence:

He had his hat in one hand and a bunch of flowers in the other.

Another

When we use the indefinite article an before other, we write it as one word: another. Another means 'one more' or 'an additional or extra', or 'an alternative or different'.

Another as a determiner

We use another with singular nouns:

Would you like another cup of coffee?

Another as a pronoun

The applications are examined by one committee, then passed on to another.
