GENERAL INFO

Autres means "other" or "others." It functions as an adjective when it modifies a noun, and as a pronoun when it stands alone.

USAGE

As an adjective, autres always precedes the noun it modifies: "les autres livres" (the other books), "d'autres personnes" (other people).

As a pronoun, it replaces the noun: "Les autres sont partis" (The others have left).

TRAPS

Autres agrees in number (plural) and can be masculine or feminine (though its form doesn't change).

Remember the distinction: "d'autres" means "some other/others," while "les autres" means "the specific other/others."
