Dear teachers,
I got confused about the way how to use "another " and “other” properly. :?
“I have two cars. One is white, and the other is red.”
Is this correct? If I want to use "another " in this sentence, can I make it as follows?
I have two cars.
One is white, and another is red.
One is white, and another one is red.
(Shouldn’t I put “the” in front of another, should I?)
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Dear Kumi, So you have two cars - that’s very good
One is probably a Mercedes and the other a Chrysler?
I have another (different) make, a French one.
Here is another (one more) example:
- This pen doesn’t work. Could you give me another one (another pen/a differen pen) please?[YSaerTTEW443543]

Hi Cowboy, ‘at all’ is usually used in connection with verbs such as in ‘I don’t like cars at all’ or ‘This scarf doesn’t suit you at all.’
As for having cars - I guess you can either have one or you can’t.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Hi, Torsten. Many thanks. Frankly speaking, I don’t like cars at all.

Dear Torsten,
Many thanks for your reply.
Now, the way how to use them is getting clearer for me. So I can’t put the and another together.
Many thanks again for your help.
