Hi.

What's the difference between together and eachother?

I can use them without any problems, but when I come to explain my students, my mind goes blank.

Your help and time are highly appreciated in advance

Regards

'Each other' refers to a reciprocal action: I do X to you and you do X to me; we do X to each other.

'Together' refers to a common action: You and I do X to someone or something else; we do X together.

Thanks. That was a good explanation.

We can always replace together with with eachother. Am I right?

Ex. We go swimming together.

Ex. We go swimming with each other.

Thanks
We can always replace together with with each other. Am I right? -- That sounds reasonable, but this being English 'always' is a dangerous word.

We danced together / with each other. -- Fine!

We went bungee-jumping together /... with each other?
Thanks Mister Micawber.

I agree with you completley. Always and never are dangerous words, just one counter example can prove one wrong.

You Can say stop hitting each other but you Can not say stop hitting together . I guess you use together when you do something together with somebody else & each other when you do something to each other , where you alone are doing something but that other person do it back to you
