Mini Grammar Lesson: Intensive Pronouns

Jacqui L.

Intensive Pronouns

An intensive pronoun is a pronoun that emphasizes its antecedent.

Example: My sister fried her eggs herself.

My sister = antecedent

herself = intensive pronoun

 

Intensive pronouns always end with “self” or “selves.” Some intensive pronouns are 

MYSELF, HIMSELF, HERSELF, YOURSELF, ITSELF,

THEMSELVES, OURSELVES, and YOURSELVES.


Examples:

I saw the treasure myself.

Dad will mow the lawn himself.

You need to do the work yourself

The outfit itself is awesome, even without the tassels. 

The kids cleaned their room themselves.

We can sing the song ourselves

You yourselves can see the point.
