The reflexive and intensive pronouns rename the subject. The reflexive pronouns 'reflect' back to the subject, the intensive use emphasizes the subject. The reflexive and intensive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.
Examples:
A reflexive pronoun usually comes after the verb in a sentence. For example:
- Dad made himself some breakfast.
- Dad made some breakfast himself.
When the reflexive pronoun comes directly after the subject of the sentence, it is called an intensive pronoun, used for emphasis. For example:
- Dad himself made breakfast.
