other是修饰名词,位于名词之前。
else是修饰不定代词(something,everything,somebody,nobody等),疑问代词(who,which,what等)和疑问副词(when,where等),必须位于这些词之后,与other的位置恰好相反。
else的例子如下
(1)The company offered the job to someone else.公司把这工作给别人了。
(2)I 'd rather he was married to somebody else.我宁愿他同别的人结婚。
other的例子如下
(1)Where's my other glove?我的那只手套在哪儿?
(2)John and the others are here.约翰和其他人都在这儿。
