Smart Tips
Always use 'the other' for the second item. It makes you sound much more precise than saying 'another one'.
Drop the noun and add an 's' to 'other' to turn it into a pronoun.
Use 'another' + [number] + [plural noun] to treat the amount as a single block of time or cash.
Check if the noun is plural. If it's singular, you probably need 'another' or 'the other'.

Linking R

The Voiced TH
