Dear Aila,
your question was:
"do you can explain the use of another, cause you said that generally it's used after a or an right".
You don?t use another after A or AN, but when you need to use A or AN before the word "OTHER".
For example:
I have four pens. One is blue. Another ( A + other pen) one is red. or...
I have three apples in my fruit basket. One is red. Another (AN+ other apple) one is green.
Notice that "A" could also mean "one". Also notice "A" and "AN" are indefinite articles. (ex: an apple, an egg, a dog, a pen).

Dear Mr. Alan
Could you explain for me to understand clearly more.
In Question 1, we answered “and another is an apple”, but In question 6 we answered “and another one is French” and in question 10 we answered “another is a chemistry book”. I wonder what is difference between “another” and “another one”.
Thank you very much in advance. |

Hi Dong,
This is really a difference in emphasis. Imagine you are at a dinner party and the meal is finished and the guests are drinking coffee and also eating chocolate sweets. A guest takes one, likes it very much and takes another (chocolate). Having finished the second chocolate, he finds he would like another(chocolae). He would ask: Could I please have another one? This addition of 'one' emphasises the point that he wants one more.
