What is Reflective Pronouns?

Reflective Pronouns

• A reflexive pronoun shows that the subject does the action and the subject is the same person who receives it.

and remember...

• For Singular Pronouns, it is spelled "self"; like "myself"

• While for Plural Pronouns, we used "selves"; like "themselves"

Subject-object Pronouns vs. Reflective Pronouns

• In contrast to the object pronouns, where the subject and the receiver of the action are different,

• the reflexive pronouns show that the subject and the receiver of the action are the same.

Example: Subject-Object Pronouns

• Daniella visits her grandmother every month.

• *here, the subject (Daniella) and receiver (her grandmother) of the action are different.

Example: Reflective Pronouns

• I was singing to myself.

• * here, the subject and the receiver of the action (I & myself) are the same.

Another example...

Miriam loves herself.

In the previous example, "Miriam" is the subject. She does the action. But... who receives the action?

• Exactly. Miriam.
