Use of reflexive pronouns

Also, use reflexive pronouns such as myself, yourself, themeselves, herself, himself and itself in the correct form and be sure to remember these pronouns in IELTS.

The use of reflexive pronouns is to emphasize the word. You should use these pronouns to show the result of an activity performed on a subject who is the subject and doer of a task.

For example, pay attention to this sentence:

“I myself went to New York to meet him.”

In this sentence, the pronoun “myself” is given to emphasize the desired statement.

In the sentence “You don’t underestimate yourself.”, the pronoun yourself is the object of the subject and you is the subject receiving the action.
