What pronoun reflects back to another noun?

The pronoun that reflects back to another noun is a reflexive pronoun.

Here are some examples:

* Myself: "I hurt myself while playing basketball." (Refers back to "I")

* Yourself: "Did you enjoy yourself at the party?" (Refers back to "you")

* Himself: "He built himself a treehouse." (Refers back to "he")

* Herself: "She bought herself a new dress." (Refers back to "she")

* Itself: "The dog scratched itself on the fence." (Refers back to "the dog")

* Ourselves: "We cooked dinner for ourselves." (Refers back to "we")

* Yourselves: "You can take care of yourselves." (Refers back to "you")

* Themselves: "The children entertained themselves with board games." (Refers back to "the children")

The reflexive pronoun always refers back to the subject of the sentence or clause.
