3. Here’s the idea
• A pronoun that ends in self or selves is either
a reflexive or an intensive pronoun.
Reflexive and intensive pronouns
Myself yourself herself , himself, itself
Ourselves yourselves themselves

5. Reflexive pronouns
• A reflexive pronoun refers to the subject and directs
the action of the verb back to the subject. Reflexive
pronouns are necessary to the meaning of a sentence.
reflects
• Houdini called himself a master escape artist.
reflects
• Lynne dedicated herself to learning Houdini's secrets.
• Notice that if you drop a reflexive pronoun, a sentence
no longer makes sense ( Lynne dedicated to learning
Houdini's secrets).
6. Intensive pronouns
• An intensive pronoun emphasizes a noun or
another pronoun in the same sentence.
Intensive pronouns are not necessary to the
meaning of a sentence.
• You yourselves have seen magic shows on TV.
• I myself like to preform magic tricks.
• Notice that when you drop an intensive
pronoun, a sentence still makes sense( I like to
preform magic tricks.)
• Hisself and theirselves may look like real words
but they are not. Use himself and themselves
instead.
