Penggunaaan Other, The Other, Others, dan Another

Another

Another berperan sebagai kata sifat (Adjective) dan juga berperan sebagai kata ganti (Pronoun). Another berarti ‘Satu lainya’ atau ‘Yang Satunya’ dan biasanya diikuti kata benda tunggal (Singular Countable Noun). Contohnya : Another woman, another girl, another child, another boy. Tidak boleh menjadi Another Women, another, girls, another children, another boys. Yang mengikuti Another harus benda tunggal.

Another + Number + Plural Countable
Contoh : In another five days Nisa is going to get married.
Another + One
Contoh : Cinta take book, then she take another one.
Another sebagai kata ganti
Contoh : This Banana was sweet, I think I will have another

Another difungsikan untuk menyatakan benda tunggal. Bukan benda jamak. Simak contoh lainya di bawah ini.

Contoh : There is a big box of Bananas on the floor. Intan is going to eat one Banana. If she is still hungry after that, she can eat another Banana. There are many Bananas to choose from.
– Intan ate one Banana, then she ate another Banana.
