Each Other vs One Another

Which is the different between "each other" and "one another"?

Maybe you could think they have the same meaning, and you are not completely wrong. Both of them are reciprocal pronouns, generally synonimous. However, there is a little different between them:

• We frequently use  "each other" when there are only two persons involved in the action. For example, "Nines and Laura greeted each other"
• We commonly use "one another" when there are more than two people involved in the action. For example, "All guests greeted one another".

I hope this helps.
