Definition of Reciprocal Pronouns

In English, reciprocal pronouns are used when two or more people are doing the same thing towards each other. They are like a mirror reflecting the same action between people. The two main reciprocal pronouns are “each other” and “one another.” We use them to show that every person in a group is both doing and receiving the action.

For example, if two friends are giving gifts to each other, we can say they are giving gifts to “each other.” This means friend A gives a gift to friend B, and friend B also gives a gift to friend A. The same idea applies to “one another,” which is often used for more than two people.

However, in modern English, “each other” and “one another” are used interchangeably, regardless of the number of people involved.
