COMMON MISTAKES IN THE USE OF PRONOUNS

They fought themselves. ❌
They fought each other. ✔

chukxie:
Nice one. Could you explain why "She sings better than me" is grammatically wrong while " She sings better than I" is right? Considering 'me' is an objective pronoun that usually comes after the main verb in a sentence, it would make more sense that the first sentence is correct. 'She sings better than I do' is correct, too.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR

CASE OF PRONOUNS
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Pronouns are words used instead of nouns, that is, they are used to replace nouns in sentences.

The prominent advantage of pronouns is that it helps prevent unnecessary repetition of nouns in sentences.

On the other hand, CASE of PRONOUNS is the FORMS and FUNCTIONS of pronouns in sentences.

We have the following case of pronouns in English:

SUBJECTIVE CASE : it is used in subject position and often comes before the verb in a sentence, e.g. SHE, HE, IT, YOU, THEY and I.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
OBJECTIVE CASE : it is comes after the verb ,that is, it is the element that receives the action performed by the subject, e.g ME, HER, HIM, THEM, YOU, and US.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
POSSESSIVE CASE: It is used to show possession or ownership, e.g. MINE, OURS, HIS, HERS, THEIRS and ITS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
REFLEXIVE CASE: It is used to mark a reference back to the subject, and it often ends with the suffix 'self or selves'. Here are examples: MYSELF, HIMSELF, YOURSELF/VES, THEMSELVES, HERSELF and ITSELF.

Fanatique:
This is a brief but concise explanatory inquisition. We should not also Ignore the fact that good English have not taken this country anywhere. Sometimes I see some dullards call a man illiterates Because he can't communicate fluently with English and I shake my head. Watch Indian professors and scientist and witness their poor command of the English language firsthand. Despite this they are still the one producing over 80% of pharmacological products that we use so that we won't die of disease while speaking big English, they are still the most recent country to launch a moon mission, their president is now a... In fact their advancements in tech is beginning to rival that of the western world.

TeamSimple:

Infact Americans are worst when it comes to English

LordNapoleon:
I don't even get the drift, are you trying to encourage us not to speak good English? We are not advancing in technology and we do not speak good English. What are we even good at? The Indians you mentioned speak good English, maybe their accents confuse you.

Emaimo:


OP, there is an element of ambiguity in the statement above.
From my little knowledge, each other is used when something involves two persons. If more than two persons, then one another is used. In the case of the bolded, the sentence is ambiguous in that we don't know the actual number of people who fought.
