  • Yriá Santiesteban Intensive pronouns (also called emphatic) end with self or selves and emphasize (intensify) a noun or another pronoun.
    They make you notice the nouns and pronouns they go with.

    Reciprocal Pronouns show a mutual relationship. They are each other and one another.
    Each other is used when the group consists of just two people, animals or things.
    One another is used when the groups consists of more than two people, anima ...ls ot things.
    # Examples John and Bob respect each other.

    Reflexive pronouns are the same as intensive pronouns (see above) but they don’t intensify; they point back to the subject of the sentence.

    # He wanted to kick himself for even making that stupid comment.
    # I bought myself a new shirt.

    ...Reflexive and intensive pronouns turn the action of the verb back to the subject of the sentence.
    Never use a reflexive/intensive pronoun in place of a personal pronoun. They are correctly used only in reflexive or intensive roles.

    In order to use personal pronouns, it is important to know about case (subject, object, and possessive), number (singular and plural), person (first, second, and third), and gender (male, female and neutral).

    # Subject Pronouns: I, you, she, ... he, it, we, they are used as a subject or predicate noun. She is a teacher.
    # It was he who said that.

    # Object Pronouns: me, you, him, her, them, us, it are used as an indirect object, direct object, or object of a preposition. She baked him a pie.
    # I can hardly see it.
    # They are going with us.

    # Possessive Pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, theirs, ours, its take the place of possessive nouns. If this isn’t ours, it must be theirs.
    # Yours is much better then mine.
