Important Notes:
* Emphatic pronouns are not the same as reflexive pronouns. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of the verb are the same (e.g., "She hurt herself").
* Emphatic pronouns emphasize the subject, while reflexive pronouns are necessary for grammatical correctness.
* Emphatic pronouns are often used in phrases like "by myself," "for myself," "all by myself," etc.
* The emphatic pronoun can be placed either before or after the noun or pronoun it emphasizes.
Examples with different placements:
* The President himself greeted the guests.
* The President greeted the guests himself.
Both examples are grammatically correct and convey the same meaning. The use of "himself" in both cases emphasizes the President's personal involvement in greeting the guests.
