A reciprocal pronoun is a pronoun used to identify an action or feeling that is reciprocated

We use reciprocal pronouns when each of two or more subjects is acting in the same way towards the other.

For example, Ram is talking to Sita, and Sita is talking to Ram. So we say-

• Ram and Sita are talking to each other

RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS

Page 28: Pronouns sid

DELL YOUTH LEARNING28

There are only two reciprocal pronouns, and they are both two words:

• each other

• one another

When we use these reciprocal pronouns:

• there must be two or more people, things or groups involved (so we cannot use reciprocal pronouns with I, you [singular], he/she/it), and

• they must be doing the same thing

• John and Mary love each other.

• Peter and David hate each other.

• The ten prisoners were all blaming one another.

• Both teams played hard against each other.

• We gave each other gifts.

• The gangsters were fighting one another.
