Reciprocal Pronouns

What is a Reciprocal Pronoun?

A reciprocal pronoun is a pronoun which is used to indicate that two or more people are carrying out or have carried out an action of some type, with both receiving the benefits or consequences of that action simultaneously. Any time something is done or given in return, reciprocal pronouns are used. The same is true any time mutual action is expressed.

There are only two reciprocal pronouns. Both of them allow you to make sentences simpler. They are especially useful when you need to express the same general idea more than once.

Each other

One another

Reciprocal pronouns are easy to use. When you want to refer to two people, you will normally use “each other.” When referring to more than two people, for example the students in a lecture hall, you will normally use “one another.”

Examples of Reciprocal Pronouns

Reciprocal pronouns help prevent repetition within sentences. Study the examples below 👇

a) Maria and Juan gave each other gold rings on their wedding day.

b) Maria and Juan kissed each other at the end of the ceremony.

c) Terry and Jack were talking to each other in the hallway.

d) We give each other gifts during the holidays.

e) The students congratulated one another after giving practice speeches.

f) The kids spent the afternoon kicking the ball to one another.

g) The defendants blamed one another for the crime they were charged with.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS

A reflexive pronoun is a type of pronoun that is preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun, or noun to which it refers, so long as that antecedent is located within the same clause.

In English grammar,a reflexive pronoun indicates that the person who is realizing the action of the verb is also the recipient of the action. While this might seem strange at first glance, the following examples of reflexive pronouns and the accompanying list of reflexive pronouns will help you gain thorough understanding. In fact, you will probably notice that you yourself use reflexive pronouns frequently when speaking or writing.

Examples of Reflexive Pronouns

a) I was in a hurry, so I washed the car myself.

b) You’re going to have to drive yourself to school today.

c) He wanted to impress her, so he baked a cake himself.

d) Jennifer does chores herself because she doesn’t trust others to do them right.

e) That car is in a class all by itself.

f) We don’t have to go out; we can fix dinner ourselves.

g) You are too young to go out by yourselves.

h) The actors saved the local theatre money by making costumes themselves.
