What are Reciprocal Pronouns?
First! What is a pronoun? A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun or noun phrase!...
Reciprocal pronouns
are words that express
a mutual action or relationship.
Reciprocal pronouns are
"Each other"
and
"One another"
If the pronoun refers to “Two things”, use
“Each other”.
If the pronoun refers to “More than two” use
“One another”.
