‘Another‘ is listed at A2 in the English Vocabulary Profile as a determiner or pronoun, with the meanings:
one more person or thing, or an additional amount
a different person or thing of the same type
In the English Grammar Profile at B1, there are many points covering the use of ‘another’. Considering that they are all at the same level, one is not sure why there are so many different entries.
Points 38, 41, 53 in DETERMINERS/articles are defined as:
‘another’ to talk about something additional.
‘another’ with singular nouns.
‘another’ to talk about something different.
Point 61 in the category of PRONOUNS/quantity is defined as:
‘BOTH’, ‘A FEW’, ‘ANOTHER’ as subject and object pronouns.
However, note the following example at B2 in the EVP:
We drove through three states, one after another.
*The B2 entry for ‘one another‘ is covered in another post.
Here’s an expert example:
Sweetheart, just because we can’t have another baby of our own, doesn’t mean Ruby can’t have a sibling.
