What is the reflexive third person singular?

The reflexive third person singular pronoun is himself/herself/itself.

Here are some examples:

* He hurt himself while playing basketball.

* She dressed herself in a beautiful gown.

* The cat cleaned itself after eating.

Important Note:

* Himself/herself/itself are used when the subject and the object of a verb are the same person or thing.

* The gender of the subject determines which pronoun is used (himself for male, herself for female, itself for inanimate objects or animals).
