Reflexive
pronouns (来源：英语交友 http://friends.englishcn.com)
> Reflexive pronouns are
used to show that the actions described by a verb act upon the subject
of the verb: the subject and the object are thus the same. The forms
of reflexive pronouns correspond to the forms of the subject pronouns:
|
Subject pronouns
I
you
he
she
it
we
you
they
|
Reflexive pronouns
myself
yourself
himself
herself
itself
ourselves
yourselves
themselves
|
>
To use a verb reflexively, the reflexive pronoun must follow the verb
(and, in the case of an intransitive verb, it will follow any preposition
used with the verb). If there are multiple verbs in the sentence,
the reflexive pronoun follows the verb to which it applies:
I told myself it
would never happen.
She talks to herself all the time.
Look at yourself in that mirror!
I would like to give myself a raise.
> At the end of a sentence,
one can add reflexive pronouns as a way of accentuating the subject
in the sentence. In this case, the verb does not have reflexive power:
I would rather do that myself.
Can you talk to him yourself?
