Intensive and Reflexive Pronouns

A reflexive pronoun is a pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence, typically ending in -self or -selves, such as 'myself', 'yourself', 'themselves'.

An intensive pronoun is a pronoun that emphasizes a noun or another pronoun, also ending in -self or -selves, such as 'myself', 'yourself', 'themselves'.
