Are Reflexive pronouns used with a noun or another pronoun for emphasis?

Reflexive pronouns are not used with a noun or another pronoun for emphasis. They are used to refer back to the subject of the sentence, indicating that the subject is both the performer and the receiver of the action.

Here's the breakdown:

Reflexive Pronouns:

* myself

* yourself

* himself

* herself

* itself

* ourselves

* yourselves

* themselves

Emphasis:

* Intensifiers like "myself" can be used for emphasis, but they are not reflexive pronouns in this case. They are acting as intensifiers to add emphasis to the noun or pronoun they are attached to.

* Example: "I did it myself" (Emphasis on the speaker doing the action alone)

Reflexive Pronouns:

* Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of the verb are the same person or thing.

* Example: "She hurt herself." (The subject "She" is the one who was hurt)

In summary:

* Reflexive pronouns are used to refer back to the subject of the sentence.

* Intensifiers are used to add emphasis to a noun or pronoun.
