other, another, others

Hi - here's a little explanation of these three similar words:

Other and another act as determiners - they modify nouns.

Others acts as a pronoun and stands in place of a noun.

Another can only be used with singular countable nouns.
Examples: I'd like another glass of wine.  She goes to another school.

Other is used with singular and plural countable nouns and non-countable nouns.
Examples:  I like the other book better.  We like the other books more.  The other rice was better.

Others stands on its own, since it acts as a pronoun.

Example:  Where did the others go?
(The others refers to the other people.)
Here is a pen, here's another one and the others are in the drawer.
(The others refers to the other pens.)

Hope this is useful!  See you tomorrow -
