The pronoun 'yourselves' is a reflexive pronoun and an intensive pronoun.

  • A reflexive pronoun is a word that 'reflects' back to its antecedent.
  • An intensive pronoun is a word that 'emphasizes' its antecedent.
The reflexive/intensive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

Example uses:

I see that you've made yourself some pancakes. (reflexive)

I can't believe that you made the pancakes yourself. (intensive)

  • The pronoun 'you' is the antecedent of the pronoun 'yourself' in both sentences.
