But what about if the noun was singular like: his other job?
那单数名词，比如说：他的另外一份工作呢？
So 'other' can be used with singular countable nouns that it needs another determiner, usually an article or a pronoun.
所以说呢，‘other’可以和单数可数名词连用，它需要另一个限定词，一般都是冠词或者是代词。
So you can't say "I don't like other dog".
你不能说“我喜欢另一条狗”。
You need to say: "I don't like her other dog" or "the other dog".
你需要说：“我不喜欢她的另一条狗”，或者是“另一条狗”。
We can use the single article 'an' as well.
我们还可以使用单数单词“an”。
Another, another dog.
另外一个，另外一只狗。
So when the noun is singular and countable, you can use 'another' as the determiner.
当名词是单数而且可数的时候，你可以使用“another”作为限定词。
One of the sandwiches has cheese, the other sandwich doesn't.
其中一个三明治有芝士，另外一个三明治没有。
Notice the article 'the' here, before 'other'.
注意这里的冠词‘the’，在‘other’之前。
This makes it possible to use 'other' with singular countable nouns and this happens in really specific situations.
这就可以将‘other’和单数可数名词连用，但是这只出现在特定的情形中。
You can use 'the other' when you're talking about two things or people and you want to talk about the second thing or person.
当你在谈论两件事物或者是两个人的第二个事物或者是第二个人的时候，你就可以使用‘the other’。
The first sandwich has cheese, the second or the other doesn't.
第一个三明治有芝士，但是第二个或者是另一个没有。
She has a bracelet on one wrist and on the other she wears a watch.
她一只手腕上戴着手链，另一只手腕上戴着手表。
So she has two wrists, the first has a bracelet and the second has a watch.
她有两个手腕，第一个是手链，第二个是戴着手表。
I can't just say: "On the other wrist she wears a watch", right?
我不能只是说：“她另一个手腕上戴着手表”，对吧？
Because the idea is incomplete, I would really leave the listener asking a question like: what was on the first wrist then?
因为意思并不完整，我会让听众们疑问：那第一只手腕上戴着什么呢？
'Another' is also used as a determiner so it can be used with singular countable nouns.
‘另外一个’也是一个限定词，所以它可以和单数可数名词连用。
Do you have another room available?
你还有另外一个空房间吗？
So here 'another' is the determiner to the singular countable noun, 'room'.
这里呢‘another’是单数可数名词‘房间’的限定词。
I can't use 'another' with the plural form, I can't use 'another' with 'rooms'.
我不能将‘another’和复数形式连用，我不能将‘another’和‘rooms’放到一起。
If I want to ask if there are extra rooms available, more than one room, I need to use 'other' instead, okay?
如果我想要问是不是还有空房间的话，不只是一个房间，我需要使用‘other’，对吧？
Do you have other rooms available?
你还有其他的空房间吗？
Or do you have another room available?
或者是你有另外一个空房间吗？
There is one exception to this rule though.
但是这条规则是有例外的。
'Another' can be used with a determiner with plural nouns when a plural noun has a number or a number phrase in front of it like 'a few' or 'a couple'.
‘another’可以和限定词以及复数名词连用，当复数名词之前有数量或者是数量短语的时候，比如说‘一些’。
I can't say "I need another weeks to finish the report" because 'weeks' is plural and it's countable.
我不能说‘我还需要几周的时间完成这个报告’，因为‘weeks’是复数，而且是可数的。
But I can say "I need another two weeks to finish the report" or "I need another couple of weeks to finish the report".
但是我可以说‘我需要另外两周完成这个报告’或者是‘我需要额外的几周来完成这个报告’。
Got it?
懂了吗？
Now the other way to use these words is to use them as pronouns.
好的，另外一种使用这些词汇的方式是当做代词使用。
So again, 'another' can only be used with singular countable nouns.
同样的，‘again’只能和单数可数名词连用。
I'm going to order a drink. Would you like another?
我要点杯饮料。你想要一杯吗？
So in this sentence 'another' is replacing the noun 'drink' but remember, I can only use 'another' here because we're talking about a singular drink not multiple drinks.
在这个句子中，‘another’代替的是名词‘饮料’，但是要记住哦，这里我只能使用‘another’，因为我们讨论的是单数的饮料，而不是复数的饮料。
And guess what? There aren't any exceptions here.
你猜怎么回事？这里没有任何例外。
'Another' is just used as a singular pronoun.
‘Another’只能当成单数代词使用。
Now you'll see 'other' used as a pronoun too.
你会看到‘other’也可以当做代词使用。
You can use it when you're talking about two things and the first thing has already been mentioned.
当你谈论两件事物，第一件事物已经被提到过的时候，你就可以使用。
So for example. My first wish is to go to Alaska.
比如说，我的第一个愿望是去阿拉斯加。
The other is to see the Northern Lights.
另外一个是去看极光。
So 'other' is acting as a noun here, it's a pronoun replacing 'wish'.
所以呢‘other’这里是当做名词使用，它作为一个代词代替‘wish’。
And it's okay to do this because it's clear what we're talking about,
这样是可以的，因为很清楚我们在谈论什么，
we already mentioned that the first wish was I want to go to Alaska so when we use the 'other', we're obviously referring to 'wish'
我们已经提到了第一个愿望是我想去阿拉斯加，所以当我们使用‘other’的时候，我们很明显指的是‘愿望’，
but there is something that you need to keep in mind.
但是这里有些注意点，你们要牢记于心。
As a pronoun, 'other' can be singular or plural.
作为一个代词，‘other’可以是单数，也可以是复数。
Now remember when I was talking about 'other' as a determiner, I said it can't be plural.
记住哦，当我说‘other’作为限定词使用的时候，我说过它不能是复数的。
But you will see a plural form and that's when it's used as a pronoun.
但是你可以看到作为代词使用的时候，它是复数形式。
So let's look at a couple of examples.
让我们看看几个例子吧。
Part of the group has already arrived. The others will be here very soon.
这个团队的一部分人已经到达了。另外的人很快就要到了。
Today we tried three traditional foods. Tomorrow we'll try three others.
今天我们尝试了三道传统食物。明天我们要尝试另外三种。
