What Are Reflexive Pronouns?

• Plural: ourselves, yourselves, themselves

When Do We Use Reflexive Pronouns?

2. For emphasis (to emphasize that the subject did the action alone):
   • Example: "She cooked the entire meal herself."
   • Explanation: This emphasizes that "she" did the cooking without help.
