Reflexive and Demonstrative Pronouns

A reflexive pronoun is used when the subject of a sentence performs an action on itself, such as 'myself', 'yourself', 'ourselves', etc.

A demonstrative pronoun is used to point to specific things or people, such as 'this', 'that', 'these', and 'those'.

In the sentence 'She taught herself to play the piano', 'herself' is the reflexive pronoun.

In the sentence 'These are the best cookies I've ever had', 'these' is the demonstrative pronoun.

Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence, while demonstrative pronouns point to specific items or people.

'That' is a demonstrative pronoun.

No, reflexive pronouns cannot be used as subjects; they must refer back to a noun or pronoun that is the subject.
