Lesson Introduction: Is the Pronoun Reflexive or Intensive?
Today, we’re going to look closely at pronouns that end in -self or -selves (like myself, yourself, himself, themselves). These pronouns can have two different jobs, and your task is to figure out which job they are doing in a sentence.
Sometimes, the pronoun is reflexive—it shows that the subject is doing an action to itself.
Other times, the pronoun is intensive—it is used only to add emphasis, and the sentence would still make sense without it.
By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to:
Identify reflexive pronouns
Identify intensive pronouns
Explain why a pronoun is reflexive or intensive
Quick Think:
