Grammar rule

another, the other, others

	+ a singular noun	+ a plural noun	alone (no noun)
one more, or a different one	another cup	other colors	another · others
the second of two, or the rest of a group	the other hand	the other kids	the other · the others

• another = an + other, one word, and only with a singular noun: Have another cookie! Let's try another day. (not an other, not another cookies)
• other has no -s before a noun: other languages (not others languages).
• the other = the second of two: Hold the cup in one hand and the plate in the other.
• others = other people or things, with no noun after it: Some stores open at nine; others open at ten.
• the others = all the rest of a group: I ate one cookie and put the others back in the box.

With two people or things: one… the other. With more: one… another… the others.
