You can't use different here because it would have to be A different and that's not what I wrote for this sentence.

Dear Alan and friends,
Regarding this lesson, I've still got one question to ask. How can we distinguish "other' and "another? How to make use of them?
That's all and I'm looking forward to knowing from you.Thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Made Sariada |

Hello Dina,
If you used 'other' in that test sentence, you would have to say 'others'. 'Other' is usually with 'the' or a possessive adjective for singular nouns as in:
Use your other hand to hold the machine. You have to drive your car on the other side of the road.

| If I understand we can say the other person because other can`t use without an article before the singular noun. Interesting point. |

why can't I use 'Different' ???
It was so confusing with 'Another' and 'Different'
I thought for almost 3 min on it....But at the end, I choose the wrong option...........
!!!(disappointed)

Actually, Alan has already explained it here:
