◼️ Enough and plenty of

We can use enough before a plural or an uncountable noun.

There aren't enough people to play that game.

Have we enough time for a quick coffee?

We can also use the of-pattern.

I've written enough of this essay for today.

◼️ Plenty of means 'more than enough'. 

There'll be plenty of people to lend a hand. 

Yes, we've got plenty of time.

 

✏️ NOTE

We use plenty of to talk about something which is a good thing. For 'more than enough' in a bad sense we use too many/too much.

The store was very crowded. There were too many people to look round properly.

 

◼️ Another and some more

These express an extra quantity. We use another with a singular noun and some more with a plural or an uncountable noun.

 Singular: Have another sausage. ~ No, thanks. I've had enough.

 Plural: Have some more beans. ~ Thank you.

 Uncountable:    Have some more cheese. ~ Yes, I will. Thank you.

Another can mean either 'an extra one' or 'a different one'.

We really need another car. One isn't enough for us. (= an extra one)

I'm going to sell this car and get another one. (= a different one)

✏️ NOTE 

We always write another as one word.

 In some contexts we use any rather than some. 

There aren't any more sausages, I'm afraid.

✏️ Before more we can also use a lot, lots, many, much, a few, a little and a bit.

I shall need a few more lessons before I can ski properly.

Since the revolution there has been a lot more food in the shops.

Can't you put a little more effort into it?

 

✏️  NOTE

We can sometimes use more on its own instead of some more.

Who'd like more sausages?

 Other

Other is an adjective meaning 'different'.

You 're supposed to go out through the other door.

 Do other peoplefind these packets difficult to open, too?

We can use other/others without a noun to refer to things or people.

The others/The rest were thrown away.

 Some pubs serve food, but others don't.

✏️ NOTE

◼️ We use another before a number + noun, even when the number is more than one. We were enjoying ourselves so much we decided to stay on for another three days/ for three more days.

Here we are talking about an extra period, an extra number of days.
