* Reflexive Pronouns: These pronouns (like myself, yourself, himself, etc.) refer back to the subject of the sentence. They indicate that the action of the verb is being performed by the subject on themselves.
* Indirect Object: An indirect object receives the direct object. It answers the question "to whom?" or "for whom?"
Example:
"She bought herself a new dress."
* Subject: She
* Verb: bought
* Direct Object: dress
* Reflexive Pronoun: herself
Here, "herself" refers back to the subject "She." The reflexive pronoun "herself" is the recipient of the action of the verb "bought." It clarifies that she bought the dress for herself, not for someone else.
Therefore, the reflexive pronoun is positioned directly after the verb "bought" and not after the direct object "dress."
