Each other versus One another

"Each other" and "one another" are both reciprocal pronouns used to indicate that members of a group are doing the same action to, or experiencing the same feeling about, one another. While often used interchangeably in modern English, tradition suggests "each other" for two people and "one another" for three or more.

Example: "The two friends bought each other gifts".

Example: "The team members congratulated one another".
