About

ほか is a noun that means "other" or "something else", and is used in combination with a variety of particles. For instance, ほか is quite commonly combined with the に particle, which turns ほか into an adverb, and ほかに is often combined with the topic marker は.

E.g. ほか質問しつもんありますか。 "Do you have any other questions?"

E.g. ほかにはないですか。 "Is there anything else?"

ほかにも is also possible and adds "in addition" to ほか's adverbial usage.

E.g. 果物くだものほかにもある? "Are there other fruits as well?"

ほか can also be used on its own, or in combination with the の, も, or は particles.

E.g. ほかは? "What about other (options, etc.)?"

ほかに~ and ほかの~ can seem similar, but result in sentences that mean different things due to ほかに being an adverb, and ほかの preceding a noun (or noun phrase).
