Each other VS one another (2 point)
Each other VS one another (pronouns –> reciprocal pronouns)
Note: To reciprocate - that’s it verb - means to return an actions; I do something for you, you do something for me. “Each other” and “one another” are called reciprocal pronouns and are used as such. In other words, these types of pronouns are used to indicate that two or more people have carried out some type of action, where all parties involved received the consequences or benefits of that action.
- Basically the meaning is the same. There’s an argument between grammarians who think that “each other” should only involve two characters, and “one another” should involve more than two characters”. Realistically, though, they’re interchangeable; you can use both. If you want to observe the rule, you can, but you do not need to. You can use both the same way.
- “Each other” is less formal, and is used more. “One another” is more formal, and is used less in comparison.
