A reflexive pronoun ends with -self or -selves and refers to the subject of a sentence.

In a sentence with a
reflexive pronoun, the action of the verb returns to the subject. The words myself, yourself, himself,
herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves are reflexive pronouns.

We bought ourselves pretzels at the fair.

My brother made himself some dinner.

You can walk to school by yourself.

The words myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves can also be used
as intensive pronouns. Use an intensive pronoun to draw special attention to a noun or a pronoun already
named. Intensive pronouns usually appear right after the noun or pronoun they are emphasizing. I myself
am tired of doing homework. The president himself appeared at the rally. My sister made the bread herself.

In English grammar, a modal is a verb that combines with another verb to indicate mood or tense. A
modal (also known as a modal auxiliary or modal verb) expresses necessity, uncertainty, ability, or
permission. Most linguists agree that there are 10 core or central modals in English:

can, could, may, might, must, ought, shall, should, will, and would.

Other verbs—including need, had better and invariant be—may also function as modals (or semi-
modals). Unlike other auxiliaries, modals have no -s, -ing, -en, or infinitive forms. (Because ought
requires a to-infinitive complement, some linguists regard it as a marginal modal.
