Key Points to Remember

They agree with the possessor, not the thing possessed.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS

Reflexive pronouns are pronouns used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same entity, meaning
the action of the verb is directed back towards the subject. They typically end in "-self" or "-selves."

Here are the reflexive pronouns in English:

 myself
 yourself
 himself
 herself
 itself
 ourselves
 yourselves
 themselves

Example:

 "She taught herself how to play the guitar." (The subject "she" and the object "herself" refer to the same
person.)

Reflexive pronouns are often used:

1. To indicate that someone is performing an action on themselves.

2. For emphasis, e.g., "I made the cake myself."

They are essential for clarity and correctness in sentences where the subject is acting on itself. 7
