單一個事物 與另一個事物 (無限定範圍) one another (一個…另一個)

兩個事物 One the other (一個….另一個) 限定範圍
第一個使用one代替,剩下的那一個,因為只有那一個可以選(因此特定 ,需使用the)
I have two brothers. One is a doctor, and the other is a teacher. 我有兩個兄弟。一個是醫生,另一個是老師。
三個事物 one another the other (一個…另一個…其他的…) 限定範圍
I have three apples. One is red, another is green and the other is rotten.我有三個蘋果,一個紅的、另一個綠的,最後一個是爛掉的。第一個使用one 代替 剩下兩個不知道會選到誰(與觀念1相同,無限定哪一個),因此第二個使用 another 。第三個因為也只剩那一個 因此使用the other(觀念與2相同)
單一個 一群體 one the others (一個….其他的…) 限定範圍
單一個使用one 剩下的那些使用the others (剩下的都使用the other,因複數+s)
