RULES: Tip of the Month
Reflexive Pronouns:
Reflexive pronouns such as myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself and their plural counterparts, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves, are used when the subject and object of the sentence are the same. For example, I made it myself vs. I made it by me.
Put the primary stress on the suffix -self or -selves when saying reflexive pronouns. |
