Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns are words like myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. They are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same person or thing. For example, in "She prepared herself for the meeting," "herself" refers back to "she." These pronouns help clarify that someone is acting upon themselves. They are essential in sentences where the action directs back to the doer, emphasizing self-involvement without needing to repeat the noun.
