What are the four reflexive pronouns?

There are actually five reflexive pronouns in English, not four:

* myself

* yourself

* himself

* herself

* itself

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of a verb are the same. They refer back to the subject of the sentence.

For example:

* I hurt myself while playing basketball. (The subject "I" is the same as the object "myself")

* She made herself a sandwich. (The subject "She" is the same as the object "herself")
