Study Notes

Reflexive Verbs

  • Reflexive verbs have subjects that are also their direct objects, meaning the action of the verb is both committed and received by the same person or thing.
  • The objects of transitive reflexive verbs are usually reflexive pronouns, such as "myself", "herself", "itself", etc.
  • Example of a transitive reflexive verb: "I accidentally burned myself with the hair dryer", where "I" is the subject and "myself" is the direct object.
  • Intransitive reflexive verbs do not have a direct object, example: "The car does not drive properly anymore", where "the car" is the subject and there is no direct object.
  • Reflexive verbs can also be used to describe an action that is self-directed, such as "The problem seems to have worked itself out in the end", where "the problem" is the subject and the action is self-directed.
