如何区分other与another
详解
1、不定代词other相当于名词或形容词,可以在句中作主语、宾语、定语等。相当于名词时,有复数形式others。作主语:He has two toys. One is for me, the other is for himself.作宾语:I have two pictures. You have seen one. Now I will show you the other.作定语:There are other ways of helping him out of difficulty.
2、不定代词another是由an和other构成,由此可以判定它只能代替或修饰可数的单数名词,前面不再用冠词。可以在句中作主语、宾语、表语和定语。作主语:One (girl) wanted to read,and anotherwanted to watch TV.作宾语:Please give me another.作表语:She is a fool, and her sister is another.作定语:Would you like another cup of coffee?
3、对比other与another(1)the other 用于两者中的另一个,another 指三者以上中的另一个: He has tw泠贾高框o toys. One is for me, the other is for himself. All these are not good.Show me another, please.(2)another 还有 “再……” 的意思,other 有 “另外” 的含义: Have another cup of coffee, please. 再喝一杯咖啡吧!The girlis much cleverer than other three. 这女孩比另外三个都聪明。(3)修饰数词的结构不同:数词+other+复数名词=another+数词+复数名词: 这周我多看了两本书。I read two more books this week. =I read two more books this week.(4)one another与each other:两者均表示“彼此”、“互相”。 一般认为,each other用于两者间,one another用于三者或以上,但在现代英语中,两者常可换用。We should always help each other.They don’t agree with one another.
