[Grammar] other information/ another piece of information

[Crowned 91]

Hi! My teacher (who is not a native speaker) a couple of times said "another information".

I thought that since information is an uncountable noun, one must say "other information" or "another piece of information".

Which one would you use?

 

[emsr2d2]

I would say "more information".

 

[SoothingDave]

"Another piece of" is OK, too.

 

[Crowned 91]

Is it also possible to say "Further information" as in "For further (or more) information, please contact..."?

Hello, Crowned 91.:-D
Yes, it is. 'another information' is definitely wrong unless it's used in something like 'another information provider' - you'll need a countable noun.

I am not a teacher.

This is a very common mistake for native Italian or French speakers where information or informazione is countable. My wife does it all the time.

Hi Roman.

Why did you choose does not make to collocate with a mistake?

 

[Rover_KE]

Both 'does' and 'makes' work well here.

 

[MikeNewYork]

Other information is also OK.

Hi Roman.

I am not a teacher.

It's a mistake my wife makes.

It's something she does all the time.
