Взаимные местоимения
– Взаимные местоимения – описывают взаимоотношения между двумя или более лицами или, реже, предметами.
К взаимным местоимениям относятся местоимения:
each other – друг друга
one another – один другого
По правилам традиционной грамматики местоимение each other применимо только к двум лицам, а one another используется в отношении более двух лиц.
Однако на практике этим правилом часто пренебрегают. Оба местоимения изменяются только по падежу (each other’s, one another’s).
We think of each other as of a good, interesting opponent. – Мы относимся друг к другу, как к хорошему, интересному сопернику.
My hamsters keep stealing one another’s food. – Мои хомяки вечно воруют друг у друга еду.
Соответствующий предлог ставится перед словами each или one:
We live too far from each other. – Мы живем слишком далеко друг от друга.
They are such good friends they will do anything for each other. – Они такие хорошие друзья, что друг для друга что угодно сделают.
