Answers
Answer:
hii here is your answer
Explanation:
Reflexive pronouns are formed by the addition of the suffix self (singular) or selves (plural) to simple pronouns such as my, your, her, him, it, them and our.
My + self = Myself
Your + self = Yourself
Our + self = Ourselves
Them + selves = Themselves
It + self = Itself
When the subject and the object refer to the same person, a reflexive pronoun is used for the object.
I cut myself. (Here the subject and the object refer to the same person – I.)
You cut yourself. (Here the subject and the object refer to the same person – you.)
She cut herself. (Here the subject and the object refer to the same person – she.)
The child cut itself.
We cut ourselves.
Note: When self is used independently, it is a noun and not a pronoun.
An honest man keeps his self free from all vices.
One’s self is always more important to one than anything else.
Emphatic pronouns
When reflexive pronouns are used to put emphasis on a particular noun they are called emphatic pronouns.
He himself told me this.
I finished the job myself.
They themselves admitted their mistake.
We ourselves witnessed the accident.
Notes:
The emphatic pronouns cannot be used as subjects. It is therefore wrong to say:
John and myself went there.
Herself swam in the river.
I invited herself to tea.
The correct sentences are as follows:
John and I went there.
She swam in the river.
I invited her to tea.
