In my dictionary, there is no 'other times'. Instead there is 'at other times'.
Can I use 'other times' as the same meaning of 'at other times'?
Thanks. |

I think it should be "at other times," but sometimes writers, especially journalists, will shorten it to "other times." Probably more likely to be heard in conversation this way: "Sometimes I eat meat. Other times, I avoid it." It's OK as is.
