What is a "reciprocal pronoun"?
A reciprocal pronoun is a type of pronoun used to express a mutual relationship or action between two or more people or things. The main reciprocal pronouns in English are "each other" and "one another." For example, in the sentence "They hugged each other," the phrase "each other" indicates that both individuals are performing the action of hugging reciprocally. Similarly, in "The members of the team support one another," "one another" shows mutual support among the team members. Reciprocal pronouns are important for conveying the idea of shared actions or relationships in sentences, helping to clarify interactions between subjects.
