SWBAT: Correctly use reflexive pronouns, the possessive pronouns its and your, and the relative pronouns who and whom.
SWBAT Delete redundant and wordy material when the meaning of the entire sentence must be considered
CCRS: (KLA 502) (USG 602)

9. Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, and is an object that refers to a previously named noun or pronoun. 
Reflexive pronouns take the same forms as intensive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, ourselves, itself, themselves, yourselves.

10. Examples of Reflexive Pronouns
Below are some examples of reflexive pronouns.
Using a reflexive pronoun means you do not have to repeat the subject (shown here in bold). (Repeating the subject would be clumsy.)
Alison still does not trust herself.
(Alison does not trust Alison.)
The members argued amongst themselves for an hour.
(The members argued amongst the members.)
We often ask ourselves why we left London.
(We often ask us.)

11. Redundancy
the state of not being or no longer needed or useful.

12. Redundancy Examples
Example-1:  • If all of us cooperate together, we will succeed.  In this sentence, the words cooperate and together have been used. But both these words convey the same meaning.  One of the two words should be dropped in order to make the sentence a correct one.  • If all of us cooperate, we will succeed.  • If all of us work together, we will succeed.  Both these sentences are correct ones. 

13. Redundancy Con’t
Example-2:  • The accused was guilty of false misstatement.  This sentence uses false and misstatement whereas both these words convey the same meaning.  The correct sentence is:  • The accused was guilty of misstatement. 

14. Redundancy Con’t
Example-3:  • It was the general consensus of opinion that we must go to the movie.  The two words which convey the same meaning are consensus and opinion.  One word should be removed to make this sentence correct one.  The correct sentence is:  • It was the general opinion that we must go to the movie. 

15. Redundancy Con’t
Example-4:  • The three brothers had nothing in common with each other.  Here also two phrases in common and with each other have been used to convey the same meaning.  The correct sentence is:  • The three brothers had nothing in common.  These examples might have made it clear for you how to avoid Redundancy in your sentences.
