adverb · A2Else
ELS/els/
Else means other or in addition, after words like anything, someone, what: anything else, who else, somewhere else. Other sits before a noun: another book. Or else warns of a result: hurry, or else we will miss it. Do not put else before a noun on its own: not “else people.”
Meaning
Other; different or in addition.
Examples
- “Would you like anything else?”
- “Is anybody else coming?”
- “Let’s go somewhere else — this café is full.”
Good to know
anything / anyone / what / where + else. Warning: or else. Not “else + noun.”
