RULE 13: Whenever we use normal places like school, college, church, bed, table, hospital, market, prison, jail, court, temple, mosque, university etc. for primary purpose (for which they are being made), the article “The” is not used before them. But when these places are used for secondary purpose, the article “The” is used before them.

There is very little difference between each other and one another. “Each other” is generally used for two people while “one another” is used for more than two people.
RULE 23: The use of “Seldom or never”: The word “Seldom” is an Adverb and when a sentence begins with “seldom”, the law of inversion will be followed.
