1. Jenn RoyMontegut Middle6th grade EnglishINTENSIVE PRONOUNSL.6.1b: Use intensive pronouns.
2. What is the difference between REFLEXIVE AND INTENSIVE PRONOUNS?
3. Reflexive pronouns and intensive pronouns are the same words. The difference is how they are used in a sentence.myselfyourselfherselfhimselfitself yourselves ourselves themselves
4. A reflexive pronoun is a pronoun that refers back to the subject of the sentence.He cut himself shaving.If it is taken out, the sentence will not be complete. He cut shaving.
5. An intensive pronoun is a pronoun that is used to add emphasis. It still refers back to the subject.I painted the fence myself.If it is taken out, the sentence will be complete. I painted the fence.
6. Remember, the reflexive pronoun is necessary to understand the meaning of a sentence. If the same pronouns are used, but not needed, they are called intensive pronouns.Examples:Reflexive – The boy made himself breakfast.Intensive – The boy made breakfast himself.
7. Rule to remember…Whenever there is a reflexive or intensive pronoun in the sentence, there must be a person to whom that pronoun can “reflect.” In other words… “Please hand that book to myself.” is incorrect because there is no I or me in that sentence for myself to reflect to.
8. Never use hisself or theirselves!Wrong: The boy made hisself breakfast.Usehimself or themselves!Right: The boy made himself breakfast.
