When the Subject and the Object in a sentence refer to the same person or thing we use a Reflexive Pronoun.
Subject Pronouns | Reflexive Pronouns |
---|---|
I | Myself |
You | Yourself |
He | Himself |
She | Herself |
It | Itself |
We | Ourselves |
You (pl) | Yourselves |
They | Themselves |
If you are using YOU in the plural, the reflexive pronoun is yourselves.
Examples of sentences using reflexive pronouns:
