Hi there! Let me see if I can help you, friend. "Other" can be thought of as "not this" "Do you want to go to the movie with me? "Some other day, maybe." --> "Not today." "Do you want this slice of pizza?" "No, can I have the other one?" "Let's go to McDonald's again!" "Actually, I'd like something other than a hamburger this time." "Others" refers to more than one person or thing, usually people, as in a group. "Did you hear? They're coming out with a new Green Lantern movie!" "Seriously? I gotta tell the others!" "Hey, everyone likes coffee." "Well, others like it. I don't." "the other" (used above) something specific that is "not this" "another" USUALLY one more of the same thing (meaning you already have or had one), but sometimes used as "other" is used As same: "Can I have another glass of milk?" (I already had a glass of milk, but I still want milk.) "We should take another subway trip together!" (You've taken a subway trip together before, but you want to take one again.) As "other" "Can we go to another theater?" (You don't want to go to THIS theater." "I'd like to take another train." (You want to take a different train) Hope this helps!
