questions - "Who is speaking with each other?" Is this correct?



When who and what are used to ask for the subject of a clause, they most often have singular verbs, even if the question expects a plural answer.



Practical English Usage, Michael Swan, Third edition, Page 525


So we say:



A: Who is speaking?
Q: John and David are speaking.




How about this one? Is it correct to ask:



A: Who is speaking with each other?



For this answer:



Q: John and David are speaking with each other.
