Together in Grammar: Mastering Reciprocal Pronouns (Each Other / One Another) for Grade 6 

This Grade 6 worksheet helps students master reciprocal pronouns — "each other" and "one another" — which show mutual actions or feelings between two or more people. Through multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blanks, matching exercises, underlining tasks, and paragraph writing, learners understand when to use "each other" (typically for two people) and "one another" (typically for three or more), while avoiding common confusions with reflexive pronouns like "themselves." 

Why Reciprocal Pronouns Matter in Grammar? 

Reciprocal pronouns express shared or mutual actions, which are common in everyday communication. For Grade 6 learners, this topic is important because: 
1. "Each other" is typically used when two people are involved in a mutual action. 
2. "One another" is typically used when three or more people are involved. 
3. These pronouns replace longer phrases like "helped him and he helped her" with simple, elegant grammar. 
4. They help students write and speak more naturally about teamwork, relationships, and group activities.

 What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

This worksheet includes five engaging activities that build fluency with reciprocal pronouns: 

🧠 Exercise 1 – Multiple Choice Questions 
Students read 10 sentences and choose the correct reciprocal pronoun ("each other" or "one another") or identify incorrect options like "themselves." 

✏️ Exercise 2 – Fill in the Blanks 
Students complete 10 sentences by filling in the correct reciprocal pronoun ("each other" or "one another") based on context and number of people involved. 

🔗 Exercise 3 – Match the Following (True or False) 
Students read 10 statements about reciprocal pronoun rules (e.g., "Each other is used when talking about two people") and mark them as true or false. 

📝 Exercise 4 – Underline the Reciprocal Pronoun 
Students read 10 sentences and underline the reciprocal pronoun ("each other" or "one another") in each sentence. 

📖 Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing (Circle the Reciprocal Pronouns) 
Students read a paragraph about students working on a science project and circle all reciprocal pronouns to show mutual actions or feelings. 

Help your child express teamwork and mutual actions with confidence using the correct reciprocal pronouns.
