11 graders: Reciprocal Pronouns

This week we are dealing with reciprocal pronouns.

As I told in class it is quite simple. The pronouns are:

each other

and

one another

They are used when you refer to something that a person does to someone and the other person also does.

Complicated?

Instead of having an odd sentence like this:

" Anne sent an email to Sam and Sam sent her an email back. "

you can come up with a much simpler sentence:

"Anne and Sam sent each other an email".

Each other - is used when two people are involved.

One another - is used when more than two people are involved.

Here is a place where you can practice:
