Discussion
Pronouns are words that refer to or take the place of nouns in sentences.
Types of Pronouns
Possessive pronouns
Personal pronouns
Relative pronouns
Reflexive pronouns
Indefinite pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns
Interrogative pronouns
Intensive pronouns
Reciprocal pronouns
Among the types of pronouns are intensive and reflexive pronouns. These types of
pronouns are formed by adding the suffix –self or –selves to some personal
pronouns. Thus, the intensive and reflexive pronouns are the words myself, yourself,
himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.
Intensive Pronouns they serve to intensify their antecedent, which is the noun or pronoun that it refers
to in the same sentence. Such pronouns may be placed right next to the word they refer to, but they may also be found
right after the object or at the end of the sentence. These pronouns are also not essential to the basic meaning of the
sentence. This means that deleting these pronouns will not change the meaning of the sentence.
Reflexive pronouns, on the other hand, are used as direct objects, indirect objects, or objects of the
preposition. These pronouns are used when the antecedent of the pronoun and the direct object, indirect object, or
object of the preposition of the sentence refer to the same person or thing. Reflexive pronouns are essential to the
basic meaning of the sentence.
