    Intensive and Reflexive Pronouns

    Uploaded by

    cesiasg6
    Reflexive pronouns and intensive pronouns both end in -self or -selves but serve different grammatical roles. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same, such as "I washed myself." Intensive pronouns add emphasis to a noun or pronoun without changing its referent, like "She completed the marathon herself." While reflexive pronouns reflect back on the subject, intensive pronouns intensify it. Removing a reflexive pronoun changes the meaning of a sentence, but removing an intensive pronoun does not.

    REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS

    AND
    INTENSIVE PRONOUNS
    What is our topic about?
    Reflexive pronouns and intensive
    pronouns are identical in spelling
    and pronunciation: they’re the
    words ending in -self or -selves
    (“myself,” “themselves”). But
    they play different grammatical
    roles:
    Reflexive Pronouns
    When the object is the same thing or
    person as the subject, it can act as
    the object of a transitive verb. They
    make a reference to someone or
    something. When the subject and the
    object of a verb are the same,
    reflexive pronouns are frequently
    used.
    Reflexive Pronouns
    Examples:
    01 I was in a hurry, so I 02 Drew decided to
    washed the car treat himself to a
    Task Name
    myself. fancy dinner.

    03TaskNina loves
    Name
    04 He wanted to impress
    her, so he baked a
    herself cake himself.
    Intensive Pronouns

    A word ending in -self or -


    selves that is used in
    conjunction with a noun or
    pronoun to give it extra
    emphasis is called a self-
    adjective or self-adjective.
    Intensive Pronouns
    Examples:
    01 Jesse wondered aloud
    whether he himself was
    02 Maria knew that she herself
    could positively impact the
    the only one seeing what world if only she put her

    Conclusion
    Reflexive and Intensive pronouns are both helpful in different
    ways, with different grammatical meanings. They both end in -
    self and -selves but Reflexive reflect the subject while Intensive
    intensifies it. If we remove the Reflexive pronoun the sentence
    will sound incomplete while in Intensive the meaning will still be
    there even if you remove it
