1. What are reflexive pronouns?

Reflexive pronouns are special words that say a person is doing something to him/herself.

They are used instead of normal object pronouns.

2. How to use reflexive pronouns

Reflexive pronouns replace object pronouns.

Pronoun	Object pronoun	Reflexive pronoun
I	me	myself
you	you	yourself
he	him	himself
she	her	herself
it	it	itself
we	us	ourselves
they	them	themselves

Reflexive pronouns are used in the same way as object pronouns.
This means in S.V.O. (subject-verb-object) sentences, they are after the verb.

For example: He loves himself.
subject = he
verb = loves
object = himself
