Pronouns & Agreement

Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves) are used when the subject and object of a verb refer to the same person. They are also used for emphasis. Confusing them with personal pronouns is a common intermediate-level mistake.
