Pronoun forms:

• A pronoun is used as a replacement for the noun of the sentence.
• There are different forms and types of pronouns that can be used in a sentence.
• Such one type of pronoun is the self form of the pronoun.
• Where all the self forms used in a sentence are included. Some of which include herself, himself, yourself, and themself.
• All of these forms are used depending on the primary noun nature. If it indicates to a girl the 'herself' form would be correct, and similarly, for a boy, it will be 'himself'.
• When there's a mention or talk about someone's own self, myself/yourself would be used.
• Lastly, for large numbers or plural pronouns the 'themself or theirself' form is the right one.
• As seen here, the pronoun 'they' represents the noun's plural form. Thus, "themselves" would be used in the blank.
