Kim Kardashian is the queen of selfies and looking fabulous. To celebrate her new book about how to take your best selfie, let’s examine the word self and reflexive pronouns:
Self is used in reflexive pronouns. Reflexive means reflecting back on itself like a mirror…or selfie photos!
Self reflexive pronouns:
Myself, yourself, himself, herself, themselves or itself. Use these when the object of the sentence is the same as the subject.
Here’s a list:
Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself are singular – they refer to one person or thing.
Ourselves, yourselves and themselves are plural – they refer to more than one person.
Examples:
He was dancing by himself.
Some people do foolish things to make themselves famous.
Jenny and Tom, help yourselves to some cake.
