Reflexive pronouns
A reflexive pronoun is a type of
pronoun that is used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same entity. Reflexive pronouns are formed by adding "-self" (singular) or "-selves" (plural) to certain pronouns, such as "myself," "yourself," "himself," "herself," "itself," "ourselves," "yourselves," and "themselves."
Reflexive pronouns are used in a variety of situations, such as to emphasize the subject of a sentence, to indicate that an action is being done to oneself, or to show that two or more people are doing something to each other. For example:
- She hurt herself while playing tennis.
- We enjoyed ourselves at the party last night.
- They congratulated themselves on a job well done.
In each of these sentences, the reflexive pronoun emphasizes the fact that the subject of the sentence is also the object of the verb.
