Use reflexive pronouns

Key Notes:

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same person or thing. They end in “-self” (singular) or “-selves” (plural).



  • To refer back to the subject:
    • Example: She looked at herself in the mirror.
  • To emphasize the subject (intensive use):
    • Example: I will do it myself!
  • After certain verbs (enjoy, hurt, introduce, etc.):
    • Example: They enjoyed themselves at the party.
