Example :
When the subject and object of a sentence are the same, reflexive pronouns are used. They are words that end in -self or -selves.
A reflexive pronoun is used to show that the same subject performs and receives an action. It does not involve another object and instead reflects the action back on itself. In a nutshell, a reflexive pronoun emphasises that in a sentence, the action's doer and recipient are the same person.
The nine reflexive pronouns in English are:
- myself, yourself or thyself, himself, herself, oneself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
