Choose between personal and reflexive pronouns

Key Notes:

🌟 Personal vs Reflexive Pronouns 🌟

Personal Pronouns 🧑👩🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Definition: Words that replace a noun and refer to people or things.

Used as: Subject or object in a sentence.

Examples:

Subject: I, you, he, she, it, we, they

• Example: She loves reading 📚.

Object: me, you, him, her, it, us, them

• Example: The teacher called me ✏️.

Reflexive Pronouns

Definition: Pronouns that refer back to the subject of the sentence.

Always end with: -self (singular) or -selves (plural).

Examples: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

Example Sentences:

• I made myself a sandwich 🥪.
• They enjoyed themselves at the party 🎉.

How to Choose ✅

Situation	Pronoun to Use	Example
The pronoun is doing the action to itself	Reflexive	She taught herself piano 🎹.
The pronoun is the subject or object of the sentence	Personal	He likes chocolate 🍫.
Emphasis on who is performing the action	Reflexive	I myself cleaned the room 🧹.

Quick Tips 💡

• Reflexive pronouns are never used as subjects. ❌
• ❌ Myself went to the park. → ✅ I went to the park.
• Personal pronouns can stand alone as subjects or objects. ✔️
• Reflexive pronouns often show emphasis or reflect the action. 🌟
