Masculine vs. Feminine: `otro` vs. `otra`
otra is used for things that are grammatically feminine, like 'la casa' (the house). For masculine things, like 'el libro' (the book), you use its partner word otro.
Singular vs. Plural: `otra` vs. `otras`
If you're talking about more than one feminine thing, just add an 's': 'otras casas' (other houses), 'otras personas' (other people).
Don't use 'un' or 'una' with `otro`/`otra`
Mistake: “Quiero ~~una otra~~ galleta.”
Correction: Quiero **otra** galleta. In Spanish, `otro` and `otra` already include the idea of 'an' or 'a', so you don't need to add 'un' or 'una' before it.
