Questions & Answers about No debemos interferir el uno con el otro durante el saque.
Why does the preposition con go in the middle of el uno and el otro?
When a reciprocal action uses a preposition like con, de, or a, Spanish places that preposition immediately before el otro. Therefore, "with each other" becomes el uno con el otro.
Why is there no reciprocal pronoun like nos here, such as no nos debemos interferir?
You usually need nos when an action is done directly to each other. Here, interferir connects to the other person using the preposition con rather than a direct object. Because of this structure, the nos is dropped, and we rely entirely on el uno con el otro to express "each other".
