REFLEXIVE AND RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS Reflexive pronouns are formed by adding self (singular) or selves (plural) to my, your, our (possesive adjectives) or him, her, it, them (object pronouns). myself yourself himself herself itself ourselves yourselves themselves © Dulce Rosales

Common reflexive verbs in English:
to enjoy oneself
to hurt oneself (cut oneself)
to kill oneself
to convince oneself
to deny oneself
to encourage oneself
to pay oneself

Reflexive pronouns are used in three instances in English. 1. With Reflexive Verbs Examples: I enjoyed myself last summer. Mark hurt himself while playing football We encourage ourselves to learn something new every week. Every morning he looks at himself in the mirror

2. As an Object of a Preposition Referring to Subject
Examples:
Tom bought a motorcycle for himself
We made everything in this room
by ourselves.
Jackie took a weekend holiday
to be by herself.

3 . To Emphasize Something Examples:
No, I want to finish it myself ! ( I don’t want anyone to help me .)
She insists on talking to the doctor herself . ( She didn’t want anyone else to talk to the doctor.)
Frankie tends to eat everything himself . ( He doesn’t let the other dogs get any food.)

NOTICE : Many languages such as Spanish, German or French often use verb forms which use reflexive pronouns . Here are some examples get up, change clothes , get dressed, get better, to bathe , to shower , to shave, relax, get wet, meet , remember, forget , etc > THESE ARE NOT reflexive verbs in English.<

RECIPROCAL PRONOUNS
If we say that John writes to Mary and that Mary writes to John , we are talking about a reciprocal action. This sort of actions are expressed by each other or one another :
- They write to each other / one another once a month.
- They get on very well with each other
- They don’t look like one another .

Decide whether you have to use the reflexive pronoun, the reciprocal pronoun (each other) or nothing.
