Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same person or thing. Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves) refer back to the subject. We use them when the subject and object are the same person/thing. ### Common uses - “She hurt herself.” (same person) - “Do it yourself.” (emphasis) - “We enjoyed ourselves.” (common phrase) ### Goal You’ll learn when reflexive pronouns are required and when they are not. ### Practice tip Write 5 sentences using this grammar point.
