Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are words ending in -self or -selves that are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same (e.g., I believe in myself). They can act as either objects or indirect objects. The nine English reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself, herself, oneself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
Reflexive Pronouns Are Direct or Indirect Objects
A reflexive pronoun can be a direct object in a sentence when the subject and the direct object are one and the same.
Jack decided to reward Mary with a dinner out.
Jack decided to reward himself with a dinner out.
In the first sentence, Mary is the object of reward. Jack, the subject, is the object of reward in the second sentence, so we use the pronoun himself.
Reflexive pronouns can also play the indirect object role in a sentence.
Cynthia pours a cup of tea for me every morning.
Cynthia pours a cup of tea for herself every morning.
It is worth noting that referring twice to the same noun as subject and object (rather than using a reflexive pronoun for the object) sounds just a bit creepy. “Jack decided to cook Jack a special supper,” for example, sounds unnerving to a native English speaker.
