Other dan the Other
Other / the other can be used as
pronouns or adjectives. As pronouns, they replace singular noun; while as an
adjective, other is followed by plural noun while the other is followed by
singular noun. Other may be followed by singular noun, but there needs to be
another determinant in front of it. The formula is as follows.
as pronoun ( singular
noun): the Other / determiner lain + other
|
the other + singular
noun
|
other + plural noun
|
determiner lain + other
+ singular noun
|
When used as a pronoun, others are to
add another noun that is separate from the scope or group of the previously
mentioned noun. The pronoun said to replace the singular unspecific noun.
Instead, the other to add other nouns that are still in one group. Thus, the
pronoun was to replace the singular specific noun.
