Grammar
One , another , the other and others??
Hi! Could any English teachers teach me how to use "one , another and the other, others"?
Although I've learned English grammar about how to use them, I'm still really confused. Especially, when the items or people are come with numbers. Please give me examples and teach me how to use them, thank you very much!!
I remember there was a scene part of the "Scary movie" which was about a man trying to save another person who was suspending from the window, when the guy who had a weird hand tried to reach the falling man, then the falling man said" Give me you the other hand" . ----I think that's what the man said.....
I'm confused why he didn't say" Give me you another hand"??

I'm confused why he didn't say" Give me you another hand" – 'Another' = one more of several items .
