Reflexive and Intensive Pronouns

16. You often use pronouns that end in –self or –selves
You often use pronouns that end in –self or –selves. These forms are either reflexive pronouns or intensive pronouns. Although their spellings are the same, their uses in sentences are different.
Reflexive: Harry splashed himself with water.
Intensive: The children made that rug themselves.

17. A reflexive pronoun has its antecedent as the subject of the sentence.
It completes the meaning of a sentence and generally cannot be left out.
Burton knows himself very well.
Did you teach yourself music?

18. An intensive pronoun is used to emphasize another word, its antecedent.
An intensive pronoun may or may not refer to the subject of the sentence. It can usually be left out without destroying the meaning of the sentence.

19. Both reflexive and intensive pronouns must agree with their antecedents in person, number, and gender.
