This document provides information about the uses of the words "other", "others", and "the other" in English. It explains that "other" can be used as a determiner with singular uncountable nouns and plural nouns. It can also be used as a pronoun. When used as a pronoun, it takes the plural form "others" to refer to more than one person or thing. "The other" is used with a singular noun to refer to the second of two things, or with a plural noun to refer to the remaining things in a group. Examples are provided to illustrate the different uses. An exercise at the end tests understanding of when to use the singular or plural forms.
