Взаємні займенники описують взаємини між двома або більше особами або, рідше, предметами.
До взаємних займенників відносяться займенники:
each other– один одного
one another– один іншого
За правилами традиційної граматики займенник each other може бути застосовано тільки до двох осіб, а one another використовується відносно більш двох осіб.
Однак на практиці це правило часто нехтують. Обидва займенники змінюються тільки за вiдмiнком (each other’s, one another’s).
We think of each other as of a good, interesting opponent.
