Every morning...
I look at myself in the mirror.
What are reflexive pronouns?
Reflexive pronouns are used when the complement of the verb is the same as the subject.
Example:
He hurt himself.
Reflexive pronouns can also be used to give more emphasis to the subject or object.
Example:
I wrote it myself. (I want to emphasize the fact that I wrote it.)
I spoke to the president himself. (I spoke to the president personally NOT somebody else.)
Reflexive pronouns
The words " myself, yourself, himself..." are reflexive pronouns. Reflexive pronouns are words that show that the person who does the action is also the person who is affected by it:
Examples:
"I always do my homework myself. Nobody helps me."
"He never does his homework himself. The teacher always helps him."
