love each others...

[ctivnan]

Wait a minute… each others! :eek:


EACH OTHER is ALWAYS SINGULAR!

What is EACH OTHER anyway?

It is a pronoun used to indicate that a relationship or an action is reciprocal between two entities.

e.g. Ever since they met, Cath and Daniela write letters to each other.

EACH OTHER versus ONE ANOTHER

If “each other” is used for TWO entities, then “one another” is used for MORE THAN TWO ENTITIES.

Compare:
e.g. Trish and Mich like each other’s paintings.
Love one another as I have loved you.
The brothers in the community hugged one another to give their sign of peace.

Ahh this reminds me of the rules with groups of words. Where two things taken as one (Bread and Butter, Pen and paper, etc.) are considered singular or one.

But how about this sentence:

Bread and butter are meant for each other.

Oh...wait. I think I misunderstood the thread. :ashamed: It's basically saying "each other" is always written as singular irregardless of it being used along with plurals. Is that it?
