Let op het verschil tussen ourselves/yourselves/themselves (zie Reflexive pronouns) en each
other/one another.
They talk to themselves a lot = ze (= allemaal individueel) praten veel in zichzelf
They talk to each other a lot = ze (= als groep) praten veel met elkaar
Bij werkwoorden zoals meet, marry, hug, cuddle, embrace en kiss gebruik je normaal gesproken geen
wederkerig voornaamwoord. Deze geven namelijk zelf al aan dat er meerdere personen bij
betrokken zijn. Alleen als je extra nadruk wilt leggen op de personen over wie het gaat, gebruik je
een wederkerig voornaamwoord.
