Using One Of The and Some Of The
“One of the” only use with plural noun and required singular verb, never singular nouns, never uncountable noun. “Some of the” use with countable plural noun (kata benda jamak yang dapat dihitung) and uncountable noun (kata benda yang tak dapat dihitung). “One of the” in Indonesia mean salah satu and “Some of the” mean beberapa.
Example:
One of the + plural noun + singular verb
One of the T-shirts is yours
One of my friends was birthday last week
One of the students is absent today
Note : Singular verb is used when One of the precede plural noun.
Some of the + plural noun + plural verb
Some of the bags are cost 150 dollars.
Some of the houses are big
Some of the students are absent
Note : Plural verb is used when some of the precede plural noun
Some of the + uncountable noun + singular verb
Some of the milk is added to the spongecake
Some of the information is not true
Some of the water is contaminated with chemical material
Note : singular verb can use with some of the, when some of the take uncountable noun in sentence.
Do not use “one of the” and “some of the” with countable singular noun (kata benda tunggal yang dapat dihitung). And also do not use “one of the” with uncountable noun (kata benda yang tak dapat dihitung).

Using One, Another, and The Other
“One, another, and the other” can use with countable noun and without noun. One, another, and the other can use to explain three objects in sequeance. “One” use with noun that mention first, while another and the other can use with noun or without noun.
Formula:
One + singular countable noun + another + (singular countable noun) + the other + (singular countable noun)
Examples :
One bus leaves at five, another (bus) leaves at six, and the other (bus) leaves at seven.
There are three rooms here, one is living room, another is dining room, and the other is bed room.
One student arrived early, the other arrived on time, and the other arrived late.
Moreover, to explain two object in sequeance, we can use one and the other.
Formula:
One + singular countable noun, the other + (singular countable noun)
Examples :
One boy is in the library, and the other (boy) is in the canteen.
One car arrives at seven, and the other (car) arrives at ten.
Using Another
Another does not refer to anything in particular (not specific). It can mean:
Different : Please, come another day. (any other day, no particular day)
Additional : We need another day to finish this work. (=one more day, no particular day).
means “one more or an additional extra, an alternative one, and a different one”.
Another as a determiner is we use another before singular countable nouns:
Would you like another cup of coffee?
Another as a pronoun like:
The applications are examined by one committee, then passed on to another.
I do not like this room. Let’s ask for another (another = another room).
Another + Singular countable noun
He has bought another motorbike
I think you should paint it another color
Another can be placed before “one” when the meaning is clear from the sentence before it.
I have already eaten two sandwiches though now I want another one (an additional sandwich)
A : you can borrow more of these books if you like
B : Ok, I’ll take another one. (=another book, one more book)
Another can be used before a plural noun when there is a number before that noun or before phrases such as a couple of, a few, etc.
I like this city so much that I’m going to spend another three days here.
We need another three teachers before classes begin.
In another 20 years my laptop is going to be obsolete.
Use One
We use one to refer to a singular nouns and ones to refer to plural noun to avoid unnecessary repetition.
Which is your car , the red one or the blue one?
Would you like a drink? ~ No, thanks, I don’t want one at the moment. (one = a drink).
My trousers are torn. I need some new ones
Let’s look at the photographs, the ones you took in Paris.
As a determiner, the word one is sometimes used before a proper noun to designate, particularly this person.
He delivered the package to one Ronal Pepin of Colchester.
The article “a” will also function in that position for the same purpose.
Sometimes we use the word one as an adjective, as in sentence “I’ll have just one scoop of ice cream” , and we seldom have trouble with that usage. But we also use one as a pronoun, and this is where one becomes surprisingly complex. Sometimes the pronoun one has functions as a numerical expression :
One of the senators will lead the group to the front of capitol
The yellow car is fast, but I think the blue one will win.
One pen is black, the other pen is blue.
Use The Other
The other refers to particular things or something specific. We use the other in place of a singular noun and the others in place of a plural noun.
I did not like the beef sandwich, but I liked the other
Using Some, Other & The Other; Some, Others, The Others ( The Rest)
“Some, other, and the other” can use before plural countable noun. The difference with “one, another, and the other” is it use before singular countable noun. And also “Some, other, and the other” can use as an adjective.
Formula :
Some + plural countable noun, other + plural countable noun, the other + plural countable noun.
Example :
Some books are English books, other books are Indonesian books, and the other books are Japanese books.
Some buildings are for rent, other buildings are for sale, and the other buildings are empty
Some shirts are pink, other shirts are black, and the other shirts are white.
“Some, others, and the others/the rest” use in sentence without followed by plural countable noun, and it called pronouns. So, we can replace other books with others and the other books with the others or the rest.
Example :
Some customers bought apples, others bought grapes, and the others bought mangoes
Some clothes belong to me, others belong to my sister, and the rest belong to my brother.
Some girls like dancing, others like singing, and the others like drawing.
Note :
Do not use rest of or rest, except the rest of or the rest.
Use Some
We use “some” before plural nouns or uncountable noun when we do not need to give an exact quantity or amount:
There were some pens on the desk
We use some in positive sentences
I bought some sandwiches
We use some in questions to make offers and request
Can I have some extra time to finish my homework?
Can we have some books?
Could you lend me some money?
Use Other
Other is an adjective meaning “different”
There are two other rooms
Other use with plural noun
She never thinks of other people
Other also can use with singular noun if:
Other + possessive pronoun (my, your, etc.)
you can have my other sandwich
Use The other
The other can use with singular noun and plural noun.
I have three books. Two are mine and the other book is yours
I have three books. One is mine and the other books are yours
The meaning of the other is all that remains from a given number and the rest of a specific group.
