A reflexive pronoun ends with –self and
–selves and refers to the subject of the
sentence. In a sentence with a reflexive
pronoun, the action of the verb returns to
the subject.

Examples:
Participants push themselves to the limits. 
I saw myself in my dreams. 
 An intensive pronoun uses a
reflexive pronoun to add
emphasis to the subject of the
sentence. You’ll usually find the
intensive pronoun right after the
noun or pronoun it’s modifying,
Examples: but not necessarily. 
Did you yourself make the cake? 
I myself am tired of doing
homework. 
 The way to identify an
intensive pronoun is to
remove it from the
sentence; if it’s an
intensive pronoun, the
sentence will still make
sense. If the sentence no
longer makes sense, it’s
a reflexive pronoun.
