traded places
Switched with another
Traded places describes an exchange of positions, roles, or situations between two parties.
The phrase implies a complete swap—each ends up where the other was: The twins traded places to fool their teacher.
It often appears in hypothetical or fantastical contexts: If we traded places, you'd understand my struggles.
