As previously explained, another refers to a singular. Remember that it comes from "an other" so it means "one other/different/more".

Can I have another beer? = Can I have one more beer?
There is another mirror in the room. = There is one more mirror in the room.

The whole sentence needs to agree:

Is there another person in the room?
Are there other people in the room?

Please,

Can I use ANOTHER in plural sentences? Yes, you can. Although "another" often refers to only one, it can refer to multiple additional ones.
Note the first definition of "another" - adjective. One of its meanings is 'additional'.

We need another five boxes.
