Definition: We use the reciprocal pronouns to indicate that two people can carry out an action and get the consequences of that action at the same time. There are two reciprocal pronouns:
Reciprocal pronouns |
---|
each other |
one another |
For example:
- On their wedding day Jhon gave Mary a gold ring and Mary gave Jhon a gold ring.
* Using the reciprocal pronoun, "each other", this could be rewritten:
=> On their wedding day Mary and Jhon gave each other gold rings. - Peter and Mary kissed each other.
* In this example "each other" indicates that both people involved in the action of "kissing" got the result, kisses, at the same time.
For example:
- The students in this classroom cooperate with one another.
- The teachers gathered to congratulate one another on the year's conclusion.
