Question

definition of reflexive pronoun​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reflexive pronouns are words ending in -self or -selves that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in myself). ... The nine English reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, oneself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.

Answer 2

ANSWER

______________❣️

• A reflexive pronoun can be a direct object in a sentence when the subject and the direct object are one and the same.

• Jack decided to reward Mary with a dinner out.
• Jack decided to reward himself with a dinner out.

• In the first sentence, Mary is the object of reward. Jack, the subject, is the object of reward in the second sentence, so we use the pronoun himself.

◾Reflexive pronouns can also play the indirect object role in a sentence.

Examples

______________❣️

• Cynthia pours a cup of tea for me every morning.
• Cynthia pours a cup of tea for herself every morning.

It is worth noting that referring twice to the same noun as subject and object (rather than using a reflexive pronoun for the object) sounds just a bit creepy. “Jack decided to cook Jack a special supper,” for example, sounds unnerving to a native English speaker.
