Each Other and One Another
Mary and Danny love each other = Mary and Danny love one another.Pada kalimat diatas, terdapat hanya 2 subjek yaitu Mary dan Danny, dan each other dapat digantikan oleh one another. lalu kita ambil contoh suatu kalimat lagi :
Pada kalimat diatas, terdapat lebih dari 2 subjek yang melakukan kegiatan yang sama, maka kita menggunakan one another.My classmates help one another
Sebenarnya pada awalnya kedua phrase ini dapat saling menggantikan apapun kondisi kalimatnya, namun saat ini menurut modern grammarist, kedua phrase ini dibedakan penggunaannya, yaitu :
- Each other hanya digunakan bila subjeknya 2 orang
- One another dapat digunakan dengan 2 subjek atau lebih.
- Peter and Mary helped each other ( Peter dan Mary saling membantu )
- we sent Lebaran's card one another. ( Kami saling mengirim kartu lebaran )
- They didn't look at one another. ( mereka tidak saling memangdang )
Contoh kalimat :
- They helped to look after each other's children ( mereka saling membantu untuk menjaga anak anak mereka )
- we often stay in one another's house ( kami sering saling menginap di rumah )
- Each other hanya digunakan bila subjeknya 2 orang
- One another dapat digunakan dengan 2 subjek atau lebih.
