Reflexive Pronouns


WHAT IS A REFLEXIVE PRONOUN?

- they are words which ends in self or -selves.
- we use this pronouns when the subject (I, you ,she, he, we, they, It, you plural ) and the object of a sentence are the same.

For example:
I believe in myself
She did all her homeworks by herself
He played with his video consoles by himself

-there are nine reflexive pronouns and they are listed below (see the attached picture)

              Singular                        Plural
            myself                            ourselves
           yourself                          yourselves
           himself                          Themselves
           herself
          oneself
            itself


Another exanple:
(?)How do you find yourself in that situation?
-I find it hard myself
(?) Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
- I see myself as a full-pledged artist.

  1. Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years?
  2. I Treated Myself To An Avocado.

Without Intensive Pronouns, The Sentence Still Makes Sense.

For Example:


  1. He organised the party himself.
  2. The house itself is big but the block is small.
-----
  1. He organised the party.
  2. The house is big bit the block is small
