Reflexive and Intensive Pronouns



  • A reflexive pronoun refers to a noun or another pronoun and indicates that the same person or thing is involved. Reflexive pronouns are formed by adding -self or -selves to certain personal and possessive pronouns.

             He blamed himself for the accident.

  • An intensive pronoun is a pronoun that adds emphasis to a noun or pronoun already named.

            The president himself couldn’t have stated it better.

            Reflexive and intensive pronouns should never be used as the subject of a  sentence.
