other与限定词连用的疑问

It is not Tom but some other boy.

Jane and some other girls went shopping.

All my other patients are fine.

Our other branch is just a few doors down the road.

我发现other前边加限定词例如some和物主代词后边加的名词可以根据情况选择单数复数,是不是只有some与物主代词这两种情况,别的限定词可以吗?

我把所有的 other 去掉,句子在语法上仍然成立。这说明,后面名词的单复数与 other 无关,而是与前面的限定词有关。这样,你就明白:other 仅仅是用来排除前面已知信息用的。

It is not Tom but some boy. 

(some 修饰单数名词,指“某一个”)

Jane and some girls went shopping.

(复数 girls 是前面有some,因此 some 修饰复数名词,指“一些”)

All my patients are fine.

(复数 patients 是前面有all)

Our branch is just a few doors down the road. 

(our 限定单数名词、复数名词均可)

这样讲解,你就彻底明白了。不再受 other 的干扰。名词的单复数,原来是什么就是什么。
