Explanation
Other is used to talk about something that is different, additional, or not the same as what has already been mentioned or chosen, such as other options or other people. It helps separate one person, thing, or idea from another. When used as a pronoun, it can stand alone. In this case, “the other” refers to one remaining or different person or thing, while “another” refers to one additional or different item or person. For example, “One cup is clean; the other is dirty”, or “His phone is broken; he’ll buy another”. Its plural form “Others” refers to people or things in general, or to more than one remaining person or thing. For example, “Some people agreed, but others disagreed”, or “She took an apple, and the others are still on the table”.
