EXPLANATORY NOTES 1. Remember that another generally modifies nouns in the singular (with the exception of another four days, and the like). The other (some other, any other, no other) may apply to nouns both in the singular and in the plural while other is used only with nouns in the plural. 2. The forms other and others are often confused under the influence of Russian. Compare: другие студенты (other students), Мэри, Питер и многие другие (Mary, Peter, and many others). 3. Special attention should be paid to the translation of (the) other(s) and another into Russian.
