What is expressive pronoun?

There's no grammatical term called "expressive pronoun." It seems like you might be thinking of one of these:

* Reflexive Pronouns: These pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence. They end in "-self" or "-selves." Examples include: *myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.*

* Example: "He hurt *himself* while playing basketball."

* Intensive Pronouns: These pronouns emphasize the noun or pronoun they refer to. They are also formed with "-self" or "-selves" but are not essential to the grammatical structure of the sentence.

* Example: "The queen *herself* attended the ceremony."

* Emphatic Pronouns: This is another term used interchangeably with "intensive pronouns."

Let me know if you can provide more context. Maybe you have a specific example in mind?
