“Each
other – One another” are used
to indicate that a relationship or an action is reciprocal among the members of
the set referred to by the antecedent.
•
We
use the reciprocal pronouns to indicate that two people can carry out an action
and receive the consequences of that action at the same time.
•
We
love each other. - Nos
amamos (mutuamente).
•
They
are happy because they respect one another.
Ellos son felices porque se respetan los unos a los otros.
Normally “each
other” is used to denote a reciprocal relation between two entities and “one
another” to more than two.
Nevertheless,
in English spoken, often they are used indifferently. Today most do not
subscribe to this distinction, which was never strictly observed anyway.

ü Last summer
ü
Last
summer, we went camping. It was an extraordinary adventure in which nature and
men working with each other helped us grow emotionally in many ways. Nature,
with the beautiful sceneries, plants, trees, and just being outdoors, breathing
fresh air, and living like our ancestors had to live, made us understand how
beautiful life can be. The last two days, we went to a spiritual growth house
near the camping grounds, where two wise men with peaceful voices shared with
us stories and gave us advice on how to be less stressed and live in peace and
harmony. Our camping guide explained how
these two famous men from ancient tribes gave lectures and gave good advice on
living healthier, physically, and emotionally. They learned to live in harmony
from their ancestors, who gave them a strong foundation; they aimed to enable
members of different faiths to learn about each other's beliefs, practices, and
traditions to create greater relationships in harmony and understanding. They
began in their own community, working to eliminate prejudice and fear, by
promoting knowledge and appreciation of each other. For more than twenty years,
they have traveled giving lectures and showing people how to understand and
respect each other's worship, witness each other's ceremonies, enter into
dialogue with one another, and learn how to share one another’s feelings,
beliefs and dreams.
