ket语法老师：other as a deternative types o

Other, the other和another不只是长相相似

它们都是限定词和代词

使用时容易出现混淆和书写错误

今天，王先生会带你去区分other们吧~

Other

other ="additional or extra", or "alternative", or "different types of".

other as a determiner

other在使用限定词时，可与不可数名词和可数名词复数连用：

Some music calms people; other music has the opposite effect. (different types of music)

What other books by Charles Dickens have you read, apart from‘Oliver Twist’? (additional or extra books)

当other与可数名词奇数连接时，需要在前面添加另一个限定词：

Jeremy is at university; our other son is still at school.

注：other在使用限定词时，没有复数形式（others）

Mandy and Charlotte stayed behind.The other girls went home. (The others girls...)
