A reflexive pronoun (/rəˈfleksɪv ˈprəʊnaʊn/) is a pronoun that can be used with a reflexive verb.
The reflexive pronouns in English are:
Pronoun | Person | Number | Grammatical gender | |
---|---|---|---|---|
myself | first person singular | First person | Singular | Dual |
ourselves | first person plural | First person | Plural | Dual |
yourself | second person singular | Second person | Singular | Dual |
yourselves | second person plural | Second person | Plural | Dual |
himself | third person masculine singular | Third person | Singular | Masculine |
herself | third person feminine singular | Third person | Singular | Feminine |
itself | third person neuter singular | Third person | Singular | Neuter |
oneself | third person generic one | Third person | Singular | Dual |
themself | third person singular they, sometimes considered incorrect. | Third person | Singular | Dual |
themselves | third person plural | Third person | Plural | Common |
Reflexive pronouns mark the reflexive case.
Along with reciprocal pronouns, they form a category of anaphoric pronouns.
The English intensive pronouns have the same shape (spelling and pronunciation), but different syntax.
