Intensive Pronoun
Intensive pronouns are used for emphasis. They are
formed by adding "-self" or "-selves" to an appropriate
pronoun (i.e., a word like him, them, etc.). The intensive pronouns are:
myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves.
Examples:
 Leave it! I
will do it myself.
Did you
build that yourselves?
(Note: There is no such word as "hisself".)
Interactive example:
|
I am off for a day on Wednesday. Can you
finish this yourself? [show
me the intensive
pronoun] |
