What is a pronoun that ends in self or selves?

Answer 1

The reflexive-intensive pronouns end in -self or -selves; they are:

myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

Reflexive pronouns 'reflect' back on the subject like a mirror. Examples:

• I gave myself plenty of time to get to work.
• You should let yourself into the house.
• Jim bought himself a shirt.
• Jill read to herself.
• The dog scratched itself.
• We treated ourselvesto Pizza.
• You can make yourselves at home.
• The children are able to dress themselves.

Intensive pronouns are the same words used to smphasize the subject of the sentence. Intensive pronouns usually appear right near the subject of the sentence. Examples:

• I myself am sick of the heat.
• You yourself are a good friend.
• The president himselfappeared at the rally.
• The actress herselfwrote those lines.
• The cat itself caught the mouse.
• We ourselves made the meal.
• You yourselves can win this game.
• The troops themselveshelped the people escape the burning building.
