What is the class of pronouns which turns action back on subject?

The class of pronouns that turns action back on the subject are called reflexive pronouns.

Here are some examples:

* Myself

* Yourself

* Himself

* Herself

* Itself

* Ourselves

* Yourselves

* Themselves

They are used when the subject of a verb is also the object of the verb, meaning the action is directed back at the subject.

For example:

* I hurt myself. (The subject "I" is also the object of the verb "hurt".)

* She dressed herself. (The subject "she" is also the object of the verb "dressed".)
