USE


We use the reflexive pronouns when the subject of the sentence acts and result of his action affects him. (the subject and the object of the verb are the same).

e.g. Mary cut herself.- the subject "Mary" did the action, and its result affected her-.



We use the reflexive pronouns to emphasize the subject, the doer of the action.

e.g. Karen will prepare dinner herself. - no one else will be involved-.



We use By defore the reflexive pronoun to emphasize the fact that the action is done by the subject of the sentences.

e.g. He built his house by himself.- No one helped him-.
