Intensive & Reflexive Pronouns

​Chapter 9 | Lesson 84

Intensive and reflexive pronouns are formed by adding –self or –selves to certain personal and possessive pronouns.

A reflexive pronoun is used as the direct object, indirect object, or the object of the preposition of a sentence.

This means that the person or thing performing the action is also receiving the action.

• Ex. We consider ourselves responsible enough to have a pet. (direct object)

• Ex. They bought themselves a book on pet care. (indirect object)

• Ex. Henry takes care of his pets by himself. (object of the preposition)

An intensive pronoun adds emphasis to a noun or pronoun already named.

• Ex. I will do it myself.

• Ex. He himself paid for the book.

Intensive pronouns can be removed from the sentence without changing the meaning.

• Ex. I will do it.

• Ex. He paid for the book.

Never use intensive or reflexive pronouns as the subject of a sentence.

Ex. Roy and myself read a story. (It should be “Roy and I read a story.”)

​How Can You Tell

Intensive and Reflexive Pronouns Apart?

Intensive pronouns

• aren’t essential to a sentence’s basic meaning

• remove them from the sentence and the sentence will still make sense.

• Ex. Jake wrote that poem himself.

Chapter 9 | Lesson 86

Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out a particular person, place, thing, or idea.

A demonstrative pronoun may be a subject or an object.

Examples:

Our parents can assist you with that. - object of the preposition

The cook gave those a big dollop of cream. - indirect object
Give the group of students these. - direct object

These words may also function as demonstrative adjectives to modify nouns or pronouns.

Examples:
This is my mother’s ring. - subject

Our parents can assist you with that. - object of the preposition

The cook gave those a big dollop of cream. - indirect object
Give the group of students these. - direct object

This, that, these, and those are demonstrative adjectives when they precede nouns. They answer the questions which one? or which ones?
