📝 Personal & Reflexive Pronouns

What are Personal Pronouns?

Personal pronouns are words we use instead of a noun (person, place, or thing).

Pronoun	Use	Example
I 🧑	Talking about yourself	I am happy.
You 👧🧒	Talking to someone	You are kind.
He 👦	Talking about a boy	He plays football.
She 👧	Talking about a girl	She reads a book.
It 🐶	Talking about a thing/animal	It is cute.
We 🧑‍🤝‍🧑	Talking about yourself + others	We are friends.
They 🧑‍🤝‍🧑👦	Talking about others	They are playing.

What are Reflexive Pronouns?

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same.

Pronoun	Example
Myself 🪞	I hurt myself.
Yourself ✨	You did it yourself.
Himself 👦	He made himself a sandwich.
Herself 👧	She looked at herself in the mirror.
Itself 🐱	The cat cleaned itself.
Ourselves 🧑‍🤝‍🧑	We enjoyed ourselves at the party.
Themselves 👦👧	They taught themselves.

Tips to Choose the Right Pronoun ✅

If the pronoun replaces the subject → use personal pronoun.

• Example: 🏀 She plays basketball.

If the pronoun refers back to the subject → use reflexive pronoun.

• Example: 🪞 She looked at herself in the mirror.

Reflexive pronouns often end with “-self” or “-selves”.
