Remember that pronouns replace nouns and noun phrases! An intensive pronoun also known as an “Intensive reflexive pronoun” is a word that intensifies a noun or noun phrase! Intensive pronouns usually go after the noun or pronoun. This is done to make the previous noun stronger! The “Intensive pronouns” are “Myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves! To form the singular, we add the suffix “-self.” To form the plural, we add “-selves” to other pronouns. Intensive pronouns are not essential to the meaning of a sentence. They are simply used for emphasis but, intonation is important! Below are examples to study. Notice that we do not need the “Intensive pronoun” to create a sentence. Often, adverbs can be used to replace the pronoun! Ask your teacher for a further explanation!
