Peter likes to sing. She does not like any other activities.

In joining the above sentence, I have done so as follows:

Peter does not like any (other) activities except singing.

But I am not sure whether I should include 'other' although I feel that I shouldn't.

Thanks.
 
"Peter does not like any (other) activities except singing" is completely correct and makes sense. There's nothing wrong with it.
 
Note that Peter is a boy's name.

Original sentence: Peter likes to sing. She does not like any other activities.

Transformed version: Peter does not like any (other) activities except singing"

Does it mean that 'other' is needed? Just to clarify. Thanks.
 
Maybe it is a last name. My name is Fiona Peter (well, not really).

"Peters" is not an uncommon last name. "Peter" would be.

"Peter" should have a male pronoun. It was a simple mistake.
 
Thanks for all of you who have responded to my post. However, I would like to know which of the following joined sentence is correct. Thanks.

Peter likes to sing. She does not like any other activities.

In joining the above sentence, I have done so as follows:

1. Peter does not like any other activities except singing.

2. Peter does not like any activities except singing.

Is 'other' needed as in sentence 1?
