What are reciprocal reflexive verbs and how are they different from reflexive verbs?
Reflexive verbs indicate that the subject of a sentence does the action to itself. Reciprocal reflexives, on the other hand, express a shared or reciprocal action between two or more people or things.

Only the plural forms of the reflexive pronouns (nos, os, se) are used to express reciprocal actions because the action must involve more than one person or thing.
