CÁCH PHÂN BIỆT “THE
OTHER, THE OTHERS,
ANOTHER VÀ OTHERS”
1. The other : cái kia ( còn lại trong 2 cái ) hãy nhớ vì xác định nên ln có mạo từ “The”
Ex: There are 2 chairs, one is red, the other is blue the other chair)
2. The others: những cái kia ( những cái còn lại trong 1 số lượng nhất định) vì đã xác định
nên ln có mạo từ “The”
Ex: There are 20 students, one is fat, the others are thin.
Như vậy:
Ex: There are 20 students, one is fat, the others are thin
= There are 20 students, one is fat, the other students are thin
3. another: 1 cái khác (không nằm trong số lượng nào cả)
Ex: I have eaten my cake, give me another ( = another cake)
4. others: những cái khác (khơng nằm trong số lượng nào cả) Vì khơng xác định nên khơng
có mạo từ “The”

dùng “other students” “other khơng có s” –> điểm ngữ pháp thường ra thi TOEIC.

-> “others” đóng vai trị như một đại từ sở hữu
= Sone students like sport, other students don’t.
-> “other” đóng vai trị như một tính từ sở hữu.
