Some verbs are rarely or never used with a reflexive pronoun in English, but often are in other languages. These include complain, concentrate, get up, get hot, get tired, lie down, meet, relax, remember, sit down, and wake up: From the moment they wake up ... (not From-the-moment-they-wake-themselves-1p ...) With verbs followed by direct object + preposition + indirect object we usually use a personal pronoun, not a reflexive pronoun, as indirect object: Parents sometimes hide an object behind them. (not Parents-sometimes-hide-an-object behind- -) A If we need to make it clear that the subject and indirect object refer to the same person, we use a reflexive pronoun. Compare: Maria didn’t buy the teddy bear for her. (her = could mean either Maria or someone else) Maria didn't buy the teddy bear for herself. (herself = Maria) 4 Verbs + each other / one another Compare the use of verbs with reflexive pronouns and each other / one another: Sue and Ken blamed themselves when their daughter broke her arm. (= they said it was the fault of both of them) Sue and Ken blamed each other / one another when their daughter broke her arm. (= Sue said it was Ken's fault and Ken said it was Sue’s fault) (>See Appendix 8.10.) With some verbs (e.g. agree, coincide, play) we have to use the preposition with before each other / one another: It is wonderful to see two small children playing with each other peacefiilly. (>See Appendix 8.11.) After the verbs embrace, fight, hug, kiss, marry and meet we can use each other or (with) one another, but this can be omitted: Two smaill children at a nursery school might hug (each other / one another) when they meet. ‘© For emphasis we can separate each and other: E If their language is more developed, they might each blame the other for a broken toy or a spilt drink.
