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.

what are you up to with this comment
Why are intensive pronouns even a thing?! They are an American superfluous nonsense.
Andrew, let me tell that your are one of my favorite professors in CZcams. You are a very professional, the voice is clear and the content in being carefully prepared. Please, keep doing that excellent work.

Incredible lesson. Thank you very much, Andrew!
For a long time of learning English, I couldn't understand the meaning of reflexive pronouns. But On this video, I have got it and used it. Thank you very much, Andrew!
Thank you so much! I didn't have the time to learn this in school so I really needed to study all by myself. (by+intensive pronoun :) ) . You're a big help!
I get to understand all the words that you say in all the lessons. You're really a good teacher. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much. Your lessons are very useful and clear
It is an amazing lesson. Thanks a lot!
Very interesting topic. These pronouns are somewhat confusing but you managed to clarify it by means of your simplified explanation. I am motivated to create my own channel because of your informative videos. Thank you very much.
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?
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.
This help me a lot...Thanks crown academy !!! because I such at intensive and reflexive pronouns!!!

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
Good job teacher

Is there any difference among these following sentences?
I baked it myself.
I baked it by myself.
I baked it on my own.
Thank you in advance!
None. The two are intensive pronouns, meaning, they baked it on my own.
Thank you, sir
I enjoyed this lesson so much that I am thinking teaching by myself to other people now.

21:03 en français on dit mark se rase tous les matins
Alors l'infinitif verbe de cette phrase est ( se raser )
In French we say ( mark se rase tous les matins)
The verb is ( se raser ) it is ( reflexive verb not pronoun)
Romance languages have reflexive verb but english don't
i enjoyed meself, and learnt a lot.
Sadan Boragalla Excellent, thanks for the comment. A small spelling correction: *myself*

Hi, I've got a question. The examples As a direct object don't match the definition of reflexive pronoun as a direct object
I'm just trying to find out what reflexive verbs are, (I'm trying to learn French) I just came to find out in my own language and still don't understand. 👌
thanks so much for the english
