Öffnen – Reflexivpronomen Englisch Klasse 7
Reflexive pronouns are words like „myself,“ „yourself,“ „himself,“ „herself,“ „itself,“ „ourselves,“ „yourselves,“ and „themselves.“ They are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same person or thing. For example:
I hurt myself when I fell off the ladder.
In this sentence, „I“ is both the subject and the object. „Myself“ is a reflexive pronoun that refers back to „I.“
Here are some more examples of reflexive pronouns:
She washed herself before she went out.
They blamed themselves for the accident.
We can help ourselves if we try.
You should take care of yourself.
I caught a cold, so I stayed home by myself.
