One after the other and one after another, both mean 'one following another', 'one at a time', 'one by one': the passengers got off the plane one after the other.
I'm afraid one after the others, as an isolated phrase, doesn't make any sense to me. But then you could use the words in a sentence such as: "One person left after the others". It wouldn't mean that they left one by one, though, but rather that everybody left more or less as the same time or together, except one person, who left later. |
