用法一 another或“another＋單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞”泛指“另一個，有一個，再一個”，其復(fù)數(shù)形式是others或“other＋復(fù)數(shù)名詞”泛指“”別人或別的物”，有some…others(一些…另一些…)之搭配。如：
1. —What do you think of the cake? —It’s nice. I’d like to have ________.

用法二 the other(+單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞)特指兩者中的另一個，常有one…the other(一個…另一個…)的搭配；其復(fù)數(shù)形式the others或“the other ＋復(fù)數(shù)名詞”特指在某些人或物中，除去一部分后，“其余的”“剩下的”人或物。如：I have two brothers. One is a teacher and the other is a worker. 我有兩個兄弟。一個是教師，另一個是工人。I have four pens. One is red; the others (或the other three) are black. 我有三支鋼筆，一支是紅色的，另兩支是黑色的。
用法三 another還可用于“another＋基數(shù)詞或few＋復(fù)數(shù)名詞”few中，與“數(shù)詞或some＋more / other ＋復(fù)數(shù)名詞”相當(dāng)。如：

用法四  注意下列固定用法：each other, one another(相互), one after another(一個接一個), “any other ＋單數(shù)名詞”(別的 / 其他的任何一個)。如：
All of us
我們應(yīng)相互幫助。Tom runs faster than any other boy in his class. 湯姆比他班上其他任何一個男孩都跑得快。用法五  else只能放在復(fù)合不定代詞或者疑問詞后。如：Did you see anybody else? 你還看見別的人嗎？Did you see anybody else? Who else was at the party? 聚會上還有誰？用法六  the rest既可代替可數(shù)名詞，也可代替不可數(shù)名詞。而another, other, others, the other(s)只能代替可數(shù)名詞。如：
