Intensive andReflexivePronounsLesson 22

Lesson 22 – Intensive and Reflexive PronounsIntensive PronounsAn intensive pronoun (also known as an emphatic pronoun) refers back toanother noun (or pronoun) in the sentence to emphasize it.The mayor himselfattended the ceremony.(The mayor is the nounbeing intensified. It iscalled the antecedent ofthe intensive pronoun.)I heard the lie myself.She will do it herself.(The intensive pronounmyself emphasizes that Iheard the lie.)(The intensive pronounherself emphasizes thatshe will do it. Hermother won't do it. Herbrother won't do it. SHEwill do it.)2

Lesson 22 – Intensive and Reflexive PronounsYou can test if it's an intensive pronoun by removing it and seeing if you getthe same effect by emphasizing the thing you're trying to emphasize withyour voice (shown here in uppercase). THE MAYOR attended the ceremony.SHE will do it.I heard the lie.The way to identify an intensive pronoun is to remove it from the sentence; ifit’s a i te si e pro ou , the se te e ill still ake se se. If the se te eo lo ger akes se se, it’s a refle i e pro ou . Did you yourself make the cake? (The sentence would still makesense if we removed yourself: Did youmake the cake?)3

Consider the followingtwo examples: They liked them.They liked themselves.In the first example, you a ’t be sure if theis the same as the subjectthe – thecould represent another group of people, or apples, ormovies – the possibilities are endless and could be anything for any reason.However, you have a better understanding with the second sentence,because you know that whatever the stands for, it is the same subject asthe sel es.8
