"Another" and "other" are both determiners that are used to indicate additional or different things, but they are used in slightly different ways. Another: "Another" is used when you are referring to an additional or one more thing of the same type. It suggests similarity or interchangeability. Example: "I've eaten one slice of cake; would you like another?" (another slice of cake, similar to the one mentioned) Other: "Other" is used when you are referring to something different or distinct from the ones already mentioned. It emphasizes variety or distinction. Example: "I have some books on the shelf. The other books are in the drawer." (books that are different from the ones on the shelf) In summary, "another" implies similarity or continuation, while "other" suggests difference or distinctness.

USUALLY: Other means different, extra information, additional, or alternative Another means one more, an addition (but it can mean different too in some cases.) I would like another cookie means I would like one more cookie. We can another day means we can go a different day. Do you have any other sizes? This shirt is too big. This sentences means do you have different sizes. Let's go the other way home. There's too much traffic on highway 10. This sentences means let's take a different way home because the traffic on highway 10. Note: Every other means alternating or every thing but one thing. For example: Every other day, I go to work. This means Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Tuesday....etc One day I go to the work, the next day I don't, the next day I do.... "Every other person I have asked has said no." The speaker has asked 2,3,4,5?? people and everyone said no and now they're telling this to another person while asking them. This is a hard question to answer because the two words often overlap. Don't get discouraged if it takes awhile to understand it.

another” is always singular and does not describe anything specific. “Other” is used for plural and noncount nouns that are general. Example Another one Other people
