Reflexive Pronouns
Yesterday it was raining. My aunt put on a warm jacket to protect
herself.
Something is wrong with that man. He’s talking to himself.
 Give yourselves a pat on the back for a job well done.

Reflexive pronouns are used in three main situations:

1. When the subject and object of the verb are the
same.
I (subject) bought myself (object) an expensive pair
of shoes.
They call themselves “The blue angels”.
He hurt himself.
2. They are used as the object of a preposition, when the
subject and the object of the verb are the same.
I bought a present for myself.
She did it by herself. (She did it alone.)
That man is talking to himself.
He never talks about himself.
3. Sometimes they are used when you want to
emphasize the subject.
He'll do it himself. (No one else will help him).
Reflexive pronouns always act as objects not subjects,
and they require an interaction between the subject
and an object.
For example: Because she was not hungry when the
cake was served, Angie saved herself a piece.
