"Other" is used to indicate "something else." If "other" is used, there is generally a clear or implied "this" as well:

  • The other man gave her a rose before Joe/this man could
  • I wanted the other color, not this color

"Others" is the plural form of "other":

  • The other people came --> the others came
  • Other colors are pretty, too --> others are pretty, too

"Another" is used to indicate more of something:

  • I have another idea --> this means that you had an idea, and now you have a second one
  • Another person came --> this means that someone/some people have already come

Hope this helps!
