We us ourselves
You you yourselves
They them themselves

 Subject pronouns – sta inaintea verbului ( subiect)

 Object pronouns – sta dupa verb

Ex: He is walking barefoot. Look at him!

 Reflexive pronouns
 se utilizeaza cu verbe precum behave, burn, cut, enjoy, hurt, introduce,
kill, look at, teach, etc. cand aceeasi persoana este si obiectul si subiectul
verbului.

Ex: Andrew has hurt himself.

(subiect) (obiect)

 se utilizeaza cu prepozitia by cand are inteles de “singur, fara compania

cuiva” sau “ fara ajutor”

Ex: Tim painted the kitchen by himself . ( Nobody helped Tim paint the kitchen)
I like being by myself sometimes. ( alone, without company- on my own)

 se utilizeaza cu urmatoarele expresii: enjoy yourself ( have a good time ),

behave yourself ( be good ) help yourself ( you’re welcome to take
something if you want )
 se utilizeaza pt.a accentua un substantive sau un pronume intr-o propozitie.
Se poate pune la inceputul sau la sfarsitul acesteia.

Ex: I myself made this cake. ( I made the cake not somebody else )
Peter met the Queen herself. ( He met the Queen not somebody else )

Obs: In general nu se utilizeaza pronumele reflexive cu verbe precum dress, wash

and shave. Putem folosi pronumele reflexive cu aceste verbe atunci cand vrem sa
aratam ca cineva a facut ceva cu un effort foarte mare.

Ex: Lucy is only two years old, but she can wash herself.
