    Important Rules

    When to use OTHER


    Other is a determiner that goes before plural
    countable nouns, uncountable nouns or a
    pronoun.
    •Other + Plural Countable Noun
    Other can be followed by a plural countable
    noun.
    •We have other styles if you are interested.

    •We don’t need those books, we need other
    ones. (= different books)

    Thanks, but I need other ones. (= other books)

    wanting the alternative.
    •I don't want this one, I want the other one.
    Important Rules

    Rule
    Little refers to non-countable nouns, and
    is used with the singular form to indicate
    that something exists only in a small
    amount or to a slight degree. Few refers
    to countable nouns, and is used with the
    plural form to indicate not many
    persons or things.

    •I’ve got little money left in my account.
    •Ben has few friends in London.
    •Examples for few / little
