Reciprocal reflexives express an action two or more subjects do **to each other / one another**. Because they need a plural subject, they only use the plural reflexive pronouns **nos**, **os**, and **se**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Rules
|
||||
- Use only plural reflexive pronouns: **nos** (we), **os** (vosotros), **se** (ellos/ellas/ustedes).
|
||||
- The verb is conjugated normally for the plural subject.
|
||||
- Whenever you see *se* (or *nos*, *os*) before a plural-subject verb, it can mean "each other".
|
||||
- Works in all tenses (present, preterite, imperfect, progressive…).
|
||||
- Almost any verb can be made reciprocal if the context allows two-or-more subjects.

## Notes & Gotchas
|
||||
- Singular reflexive pronouns (me, te) cannot be reciprocal — at least two subjects are required.
|
||||
- The same form can be reflexive ("they wash themselves") or reciprocal ("they wash each other"); context decides.
|
||||
- For clarity you can add *el uno al otro* / *los unos a los otros* to force the reciprocal reading.
