Practice proper grammar usage with this fill-in-the-blank worksheet designed to help students master reflexive pronouns like himself and ourselves.

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks with the correct reflexive pronouns.

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or thing. They end in “-self” (singular) or “-selves” (plural).

Here’s the list we can choose from:
- myself
- ourselves
- yourself
- yourselves
- himself
- herself
- itself
- themselves

Now, let’s look at each sentence:

1. The new foal lifted __________ off of the ground and trotted over to its mother.
→ The subject is “the new foal” — that’s an animal, singular, not human. So we use “itself”.
✔ Answer: itself

2. We gave __________ two hours to get the entire room cleaned and decorated for the party.
→ Subject is “we” — plural, first person. Reflexive form is “ourselves”.
✔ Answer: ourselves

3. You should be very proud of __________ for completing the dance routine flawlessly.
→ Subject is “you” — could be singular or plural, but since it’s addressing one person (“you should be...”), we use “yourself”.
✔ Answer: yourself

4. When I fell from my bike I hurt __________ on the knee.
→ Subject is “I” — so reflexive is “myself”.
✔ Answer: myself

5. Paula helped __________ to the yummy apple pie.
→ Subject is “Paula” — female, singular. Reflexive is “herself”.
✔ Answer: herself

Now, the last part says:
Directions: Use the last three pronouns in sentences of your own.

The “last three pronouns” from the box are:
→ itself, themselves, and... wait, let’s check the order in the box:

Box order:
Row 1: myself, ourselves, yourself, yourselves
Row 2: himself, herself, itself, themselves

So the *last three* would be: herself, itself, themselves?
But actually, if we read left to right, top to bottom, the full list is:

1. myself
2. ourselves
3. yourself
4. yourselves
5. himself
6. herself
7. itself
8. themselves

So the *last three* are: herself, itself, themselves? No — positions 6, 7, 8 → herself, itself, themselves

Wait — actually, position 6 = herself, 7 = itself, 8 = themselves → yes.

But the instruction says “use the last three pronouns in sentences of your own.” That means write 3 original sentences using those three.

However, looking back at the worksheet, after question 5, there are blank lines — probably for writing 3 sentences, one for each of the last three pronouns.

But note: In questions 1–5, we already used: itself, ourselves, yourself, myself, herself.

So the ones NOT yet used in the fill-in-the-blank are:
→ himself, yourselves, themselves

Wait — let’s double-check which were used:

Q1: itself → used
Q2: ourselves → used
Q3: yourself → used
Q4: myself → used
Q5: herself → used

Left unused:
→ himself
→ yourselves
→ themselves

Ah! So “the last three pronouns” likely refers to the last three in the box that haven’t been used yet? Or just the last three listed?

Looking at the box again:

Top row: myself, ourselves, yourself, yourselves
Bottom row: himself, herself, itself, themselves

If we take the literal “last three” in reading order:
Position 6: herself → used in Q5
Position 7: itself → used in Q1
Position 8: themselves → not used yet

That doesn’t make sense because two of them were already used.

Alternatively, maybe “last three” means the three that appear last in the box that you haven’t used? But the directions don’t say that.

Actually, re-reading:
“Use the last three pronouns in sentences of your own.”

And the box has 8 pronouns. The last three in the box (by position) are:
→ herself (6), itself (7), themselves (8)

But we already used herself and itself in Q5 and Q1.

Hmm — perhaps the teacher intends for students to use any three they haven’t used? But the direction says “the last three”, meaning the final three listed.

To avoid confusion, let’s assume “last three” means the last three in the printed box: herself, itself, themselves

Even though we used two of them already, maybe we’re supposed to reuse them in new sentences? That seems odd.

Wait — another interpretation: Maybe “last three” refers to the three that are left after doing the first five questions? Let’s see what’s left:

Used: myself, ourselves, yourself, itself, herself
Unused: himself, yourselves, themselves

That makes more sense pedagogically — use the ones you haven’t practiced yet.

Also, “yourselves” is plural “you”, which wasn’t used in Q3 (which was singular “you”).

So probably, the intended “last three” are: himself, yourselves, themselves

I think that’s the best interpretation.

So for the writing part, we’ll create one sentence for each of:

- himself
- yourselves
- themselves

Example sentences:

1. He fixed the car by himself.
2. Did you all prepare for the test by yourselves?
3. The cats cleaned themselves after eating.

These are simple and correct.

Now, compiling everything.

Final Answer:

1. itself
2. ourselves
3. yourself
4. myself
5. herself

Sentences (for the last three pronouns: himself, yourselves, themselves):

- He built the birdhouse by himself.
- You should help yourselves to snacks.
- The children dressed themselves before school.

(Note: Since the worksheet asks to “use the last three pronouns in sentences of your own,” and based on unused pronouns being himself, yourselves, themselves, these are appropriate.)
