What Are Reflexive Pronouns?

Reflexive pronouns are pronouns that refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause. They
either end in self, as in the singular form, or selves as in the plural form.
The singular reflexive pronouns are:
Myself
Yourself
Himself, herself, itself
Plural reflexive pronouns include:
Ourselves
Yourselves
Themselves
All of the above pronouns are used to rename the subjects of action verbs and function as
different types of objects. If the reflexive pronoun is taken out of the sentence, it wont make
sense. Lets look at a few examples.
Examples of reflexive pronouns
The following sentences are examples of the correct and incorrect use of reflexive pronouns.
Non-reflexive: Adam e-mailed him a copy of the report.
In this sense the italicized words are not the same person. Him is not a reflection
of Adam therefore it is not a reflexive pronoun.
Reflexive: Adam e-mailed himself a copy of the report.
Here are the italicized words are the same person. Himself reflects back to the subject of the
sentence which is Adam.
