Reciprocal Actions

Let's begin with the question..

"what is a reciprocal action?"

Reciprocal actions use reflexive pronouns such as se and nos in order to express the idea that the two verbs are doing something "to each other."

In other words, simply add se or nos before your verb to indicate that the actions are being done to each other.

Ex: Se ayudaron
*As you can see, the sentence would be "they helped themselves"
but because there is a reflexive pronoun

in front of the verb the sentence becomes "they helped each other."

Ex: Nos sauludabamos con un abrazo
"We greeted each other with a hug."

*Reciprocal actions are no longer frustrating, but easy to under stand! Just keep practing and you are on your way to success.
