Teaching Reflexive Pronouns.
quote Thank you very much, everything you share is very important to review or learn. Usually I start making the student see her/his face in a mirror to compare the situation and start expressing ideas using "myself", later they listen about the other cases of reflexive and understand them easily.
Form
myself
yourself
himself / herself / itself
ourselves
yourselves (plural)
themselves
Functions and examples
We use reflexive pronouns when the subject and object are the same.
I burnt myself on the stove this morning.
NOT: I burnt me on the stove this morning.
You can help yourselves to drinks.
NOT: You can help you to drinks.
He blames himself for the accident.
