another 后面是不是加单数（another到底能不能加复数）

语法梳理：王兴刚老师

适合人群：英语教师、英语专业学生、初高中生等

我们常见的Another的用法是another 名词单数，表示另一个、在一个。相当于one more。

但是another也可以加复数，这是一定要重点掌握的。只是加复数的时候，不可以直接加，而是需要加一个数词。

于是，我们就这么记忆：

another 名词的单复数都可以，但复数的时候需要数词。

another book = one more book

another two books = two more books

1. This backpack doesn't look smart. Could you show me________ one?

A. the other B. others C. other D. another

答案：D。这个不好看，换一个。是泛指，不是特指。如果是A，必须是明显的“两者”范围；如果是B，others后面不加东西。如果是C，other后面要加复数。

2. We should tell the truth. We can't say one thing to one person and________ thing to someone else.

A. other B. another C. the other

答案：B。泛指，另一件事情。如果是A，那么other后面应该用things；如果是C，必须是明显的“两者”范围

3. I don't want this shirt. Please show me ________.

A . others. B. the others C .another D .the other

答案：C。这件不喜欢，换另一件。如果是A，others是复数，不符合题意。如果是B，除了复数之外，还必须有个固定的范围；如果是D，后面需要有名词，且必须是“两者”范围。

4. I'll stay here in _____ few days.

A. another B. other C. the other

答案：A。Another few days = a few more days.

5. Can I have ____ two cakes?

A. another B. other C. the other

答案：A。Another是可以加名词复数的，只需要中间加入一个数词即可。不要看到复数，就不选another。

6. After the second health check-up,the Olympic athlete knows that she has to stay in hospital for__________weeks.

A. the other two B. another two C. two another

答案：B。another two weeks的顺序不能乱，搭配不能乱。只能用another 数词，之后才能用名词复数。
