Reflexive pronouns and intensive pronouns in English

  • This is an English grammar lesson about reflexive pronouns and intensive pronouns.
    Here is the list: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves)
    Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of the sentence are the same person. They take the place of the object and they reflect back to the subject.
    An example is "I hurt myself while playing football." In this lesson, I explain in detail how to use these pronouns to form reflexive verbs as well as describing common mistakes and how to avoid making them.
    Intensive pronouns are the same words as the reflexives but are used very differently. We use them to emphasise a noun (the antecedent), usually the subject.
    In the lesson, I explain in detail how to use them with several examples.
    At the end of the lesson, there are some exercises to test your understanding.
    The accent in the video is a British English accent.

      Why are intensive pronouns even a thing?! They are an American superfluous nonsense.

    20:39 Is ¨Mark shaves himself every morning¨ wrong because of the redundancy that happens when the word ¨himself¨ is added? If not what is the reason then?

    • @sirmeowthelibrarycat
      @sirmeowthelibrarycat Před 3 lety

      Ash Lynx 👨🏻‍🏫 Hello. Mr Teacher here in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. I have an answer to your question. You are correct in pointing out the extra word ‘himself’ in this example. However, for teaching purposes it is grammatically correct, following the examples in the chart Andrew showed. Here is my example sentence where I use ‘himself’ in this form ‘Usain Bolt proved himself a world champion athlete by winning three gold medals 🏅🏅🏅.’ I hope this is helpful for you.

    why it is used as a direct object i think its only indirect object because “jane is teaching herself to play the piano” “to play the piano” is object to the verb teaching its infinitive
