             NOTES
             Self-words like, myself, herself, itself, ourselves, etc. are used to reflect
             the subject of the sentence.
             They are called reflexive pronouns.
                    My son hurt himself while playing. [My son was hurt]
             We use reflexive as the direct object of a verb.
                    We taught ourselves to read and write. [direct object]
             We also use reflexive pronouns as the indirect object of a verb. It is
             usually introduced by a preposition.
                    I closely looked at myself in the mirror. [indirect object]
             Reflexive pronouns can also be used with the verb ‘to be’.
                    Due to some personal problems, she is not herself.


             Self-words like, myself, herself, itself, yourself, etc. are used for
             emphasis instead of reflecting the subject of the sentence. They
             are called emphatic pronouns. Emphatic pronouns are usually used
             immediately after its antecedent.
                    The building itself collapsed all of a sudden.
                    She herself informed me about the theft.
