vishalchaudhury Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Which is correct and why? We resolved the issue among ourselves or We resolved the issue among us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledlife Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 We resolved the issue amongst ourselves is correct. Ourselves refers back to 'we', which is why it is used. It is the same set of people in question. We = Ourselves. They resolved the issue amongst us would be correct. Because in this case they and us are different sets of people.

800 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 We resolved the issue amongst ourselves is correct. Ourselves refers back to 'we', which is why it is used. It is the same set of people in question. We = Ourselves. They resolved the issue amongst us would be correct. Because in this case they and us are different sets of people. What about " we resolve the issue ourselves" ? (for example - I do it myself). Please explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
