What part of speech is “another”

the word 'another' can be used as a pronoun, indicating a person or thing that is different from those already mentioned or implied. It is usually used in a singular form and functions as a determiner, often preceded by the article 'an' or a possessive pronoun such as 'my'. For example

'I need to get another plate' or 'Could I have another try?'.

1. She asked me to pick up another bag of flour on the way home.

2. I need to find another job if I'm going to pay off my debts.

3. Let's get another glass of wine and continue the conversation.

It is important to remember that when using 'another' as a noun, it does not indicate a specific person or thing, but rather a different one from those already mentioned or implied. Another is often used with the article 'an', e.g. 'an another book'. This is incorrect and the article should be omitted. It should not be confused with the other, which indicates a specific person or thing that was mentioned. For example, 'I'll read the other book' refers to a specific book that was previously mentioned, while 'I'll read another book' refers to any other book.
