What is a pronoun that ends in self or selves?

Pronouns that end in "self" or "selves" are called reflexive pronouns. They are used when the subject and the object of a verb are the same person or thing.

Here is a list of reflexive pronouns:

* Singular: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself

* Plural: ourselves, yourselves, themselves

For example:

* I cut myself while chopping vegetables. (The subject "I" is the same as the object "myself")

* They painted the house themselves. (The subject "They" is the same as the object "themselves")
