Phần 2.2
The next part of the lesson is about the use of ‘another', 'other', 'others', 'the
other', 'the others'
It can mean:
2 - 'different': Come another day. (= any other day, no particular day)
- 'additional': We need another day to finish this. (= one more day, no particular
day)
2 We can contrast some and other(s) when we talk about things in general:
We can contrast one with the other or the others when referring to particular
things:
3 This one is mine and the other one is yours. (Or: ... the other is yours)
This one is mine and the other ones are yours. (Or: ... the others are yours)
The other day can mean 'a few days ago' the next day refers to the following day:
I met your father in the street the other day. (= a few days ago)
We spent our first night in Cairo and the next day we went to Alexandria.
Let’s have a look at this diagram to have a summary of how to use of ‘another',
4
'other', 'others', 'the other', 'the others'
Now, let’s have some practice. Fill the gaps with of ‘another', 'other', 'others',
'the other', 'the others'.
any / some / another / each / either / neither / none go with of and the/my
any of the / some of the / another of the / each of the /either of the / neither of the
/ none of the
Example:
Instead of saying Neither lift is working, we can say: Neither of the lifts is
working.
7 * After either, neither and none, when the reference is plural, we can use a plural
verb in everyday speech or a singular verb when we wish to sound 'correct' or
formal.
Example:
‘any of’
‘another of’
‘each of’
‘either of’
‘neither of'
OR
We don’t say:
We say:
every room
Because we must use a noun after every or we must use one of after every.
That is the end of the lesson today. I believe that you already know how to use a
9 lot of quantifiers in English. Thank you very much for your attention. Goodbye
and see you!
