A simple rule to help you remember the difference between another and other is:another + singular nounother + plural noun others (a pronoun to replace other + plural noun)I need another cup. (cup is singular so we use another)I need other cups. (cup is plural so we use other)I need others. (refers to other cups)

Think of the prefix an in ANother as meaning one other. When you use other by itself it means more than one.

Examples: Can you give me another example? I've found other ideas. Here can you find explanations: http://www.grammar.cl/english/another-other-others.htm http://www.englishcurrent.com/grammar/other-another-difference/

"Another" is used like "one more" many times. Ex. Do you have another(one more) bike? (Here you couldn't say "other"). But you could say: Do you have other bikes? So "another" is singular and "other" is more plural usually.
