More Information
Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence. They are used when the subject and the object of the verb are the same person or thing.
Tips
A common mistake is using a reflexive pronoun when a personal pronoun (me, him, her, us, them) is needed. For example, incorrect: "John and myself went to the store." Correct: "John and I went to the store."
