:wink1: The reflexive pronouns, or reflexives, are: :flame:
MYSELF, OURSELVES
YOURSELF, YOURSELVES
HERSELF, HIMSELF, ITSELF , THEMSELVES
We use REFLEXIVES :
- when the object is the same as the subject.
e.g. She helped herself get out of the mess.
- when the object of the preposition is the same as the subject.
e.g. Craig only thinks about himself.
- when we want to emphasize.
e.g. You yourself said that it was a very interesting piece of poetry.
