In everything I do that’s the wonder

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I’m a king

Your love for me is everything
 
I’ll guess I’ll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That’s the wonder the wonder of you

What
are
Reflexive
and
Intensive
pronouns?
A reflexive pronoun refers to the
subject and is necessary to the basic
meaning of the sentence. Serves as
reflector.
myself
yourselves
yourself ourselves
herself themselves
himself
itself
 5.REFLEXIVE PRONOUN
Students who cheat on the quiz are only
hurting themselves.

Themselves is a reflexive pronoun. The person to

whom that pronoun “reflects” is students.
Adrian drove himself to the airport.
The sick man killed himself.
The elephant hurt itself.
I bought myself a new shirt.
 Rule to remember…
Whenever there is a reflexive pronoun
in the sentence there must be a person
to whom that pronoun can “reflect.”

In other words…
“Please hand that book to myself.”
is incorrect because there is no I or me
in that sentence for myself to reflect to.
 Never use
hisself or theirselves!
Wrong: The boy made hisself
breakfast.

Use
himself or themselves!
Right: The boy made himself
breakfast.
Remember, the reflexive pronoun is
necessary to understand the meaning
of a sentence. If the same pronouns
are used, but not needed, they are
called intensive pronouns.
Examples:
Reflexive – The boy made himself breakfast.
Intensive – The boy made breakfast himself.
 6. INTENSIVE Pronoun

is a pronoun used to emphasize the

subject in the sentence . It is identical in
form to reflexive pronouns.

singular - myself, yourself, himself/

herself, itself
plural - ourselves, yourselves,
themselves
Ex: I myself believe that aliens should
abduct my sister.

The president himself said that he

would lower taxes.

The people themselves were affected

badly.

In intensive pronoun myself only

intensifies the subject I
 Intensive Pronoun

even though they had a final exam at the same
time.
We did our work ourselves.
She herself spoke to me.
You yourselves ask us to do it.
The exam itself wasn't difficult, but
exam room was horrible.
 Test your knowledge…..
Identify each pronoun as intensive or reflexive

1. Dan himself did not know where he put his pencil.

Intensive – himself is not necessary to the basic meaning
of the sentence
2. Chelsea and Rachael did the work themselves.
Intensive – themselves is not necessary to the basic
sentence.
3. The dog made itself dizzy.
Reflexive – itself reflects dog.
4. I read the book myself.
Intensive – myself only intensifies the subject I
