active voice verb in order to reflect
the action of the verb back on the
subject.

refer back to the subject of the sentence or
clause. Reflexive pronouns end in "-self"

adjectives have exactly the same forms. The
way to differentiate them depends on their
position relative to the antecedent/determined
nouns.
