What Are Reciprocal Pronouns?

Reciprocal pronouns are used when two or more people are performing an action that affects both (or all) of them equally. In English, there are only two reciprocal pronouns:

• Each other: Used when referring to two people.
• One another:  Used when referring to more than two people.

These pronouns help avoid repetition in sentences, making them sound more natural and fluent.

Examples:

• Sarah and John love each other. (Instead of saying “Sarah loves John, and John loves Sarah.”)
• The team members encouraged one another during the match.
• The two best friends always help each other with their homework.
• The students in the class share their notes with one another.
