Reflexive and emphatic Pronuuns

REFLEXIVE AND EMPHATIC PRONOUNS When -self is added to my, your, him, her, it, and -selves to our, your, them, we get what are called Compound Personal Pronouns. They are called Reflexive Pronouns when the action done by the subject turns back (reflects) upon the subject; as, I hurt myself. We hurt ourselves. You will hurt yourself. You hurt yourselves. He hurt himself. She hurt herself. They hurt themselves. The horse hurt itself. It will be noticed that each of these Reflexive Pronouns is used as the Object of a verb, and refers to the same person or thing as that denoted by the Subject of the verb. Sometimes, in older English, especially in poetry, a simple pronoun was used reflexively; as; Now I lay me down to sleep. The word self is sometimes used as a Noun; as, To thin own self be true. He cares for nothing but self. He thinks much for self. Emphatic Pronouns Now look at the following sentences:-I will do it myself. I myself saw him do it. We...
