Read each section carefully and follow the instructions to complete the activities on reflexive pronouns.
Reflexive pronouns are pronouns that refer back to the subject of the sentence. They end in -self (singular) or -selves (plural). Examples include myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. Remember that intensive pronouns look exactly like reflexive pronouns, but their function is different: intensive pronouns emphasize the noun or pronoun they refer to, while reflexive pronouns are essential to the meaning of the sentence.
