7. Reflexive/Emphatic Pronouns (myself, yourself etc)

    1. Reflexive pronouns are used after certain verbs (behave, burn, cut, enjoy, hurt, kill, look at, laugh at, introduce, dry, teach etc) when the subject and the object of the verb are the same.

Did you enjoy yourself? He taught himself how to drive.

    1. Reflexive pronouns can be used after be, feel, look, seem to describe emotions or states.

He doesn't seem himself these days.

They are also used after prepositions but not after prepositions of place.

He is so proud of himself, but: He looked behind him.

    1. Certain verbs do not normally take a reflexive pronoun: wash, shave, (un)dress, afford, complain, concentrate, meet, rest, relax, stand up, get up, sit down, wake up etc. He got up and shaved.

We can use a reflexive pronoun with wash or dress when we talk about young children or animals. I'm teaching my son how to wash himself. Those monkeys are dressing themselves!

8. Emphatic pronouns

Emphatic pronouns have the same form as reflexive pronouns but a different meaning. They emphasize the noun, or the fact that one person, and not another, performs an action.

He himself painted the house.

They also mean "without help". She fixed the tire herself, (without help)

They go after nouns, pronouns or after "but" and "than".

She'd like to marry someone older than herself.

    1. There are some idioms:

Enjoy yourself! (= Have a good time!) Behave yourself! (= Be good!)

Make yourself at home! (= Feel comfortable.)

I like being by myself. (= I like being alone.)

She lives by herself. (= She lives on her own.)

Do it yourself. (= Do it without being helped.)

Make yourself understood. (= Make your meaning clear.)

Help yourself to the cake. (= You're welcome to take a piece cake if you want).

By myself, by yourself, by himself (= on my own, on your own, on his own)
