Step-by-step solution for: Hundreds of new grade 4 grammar worksheets | Worsheets library
Let's solve this step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks with the correct reflexive or emphasizing pronouns from the box:
Pronouns available:
- herself
- myself
- themselves
- yourselves
- yourself
- himself
- ourselves
- itself
We need to choose the right reflexive (or emphatic) pronoun based on the subject of each sentence.
---
- Subject: I → Reflexive form: myself
✔ Answer: myself
> "I fell down and hurt myself."
---
- Subject: The principal (singular, male/female — doesn't matter here) → Reflexive: himself/herself
But we don’t know gender. However, in English, himself is often used for formal or neutral singular "he" when gender isn't specified. But herself could also be possible.
But here, it’s likely emphasizing that *the principal personally* gave the orders. So himself or herself? Since both are options, and the word himself is listed, and often used in such contexts, we’ll go with himself unless otherwise specified.
Wait — but the clue says: *"Yourself is for singular you. Yourselves is for plural you."* — so no help there.
But since the principal is a person, and we’re emphasizing that *the principal personally* did it, we use himself or herself.
But we have both in the box. Let's look at context: It's a general statement. Often in such cases, himself is used as a default for singular people.
✔ Answer: himself (common usage for emphasis)
> "The principal himself gave the orders."
(Note: In modern English, some prefer themselves for gender-neutral, but it's not in the box. So we must pick from the list.)
Wait — themselves is in the box! But themselves is plural. Principal is singular.
So only himself or herself are correct. But which?
Since the sentence uses "the principal" without specifying gender, and both himself and herself are in the box, but himself is more traditionally used in such constructions, even if outdated.
But actually, let’s reconsider: Is the pronoun being used reflexively or emphatically?
Here, “The principal himself gave the orders” = emphasis — meaning “not someone else, but the principal personally.”
So it’s emphasizing, not reflexive.
And himself is acceptable for singular male or neutral (though now discouraged).
But herself would be if the principal were female.
But we don’t know.
Wait — perhaps the intended answer is himself, as it’s commonly used in such grammar exercises.
Alternatively, maybe the exercise expects himself.
✔ Answer: himself
> "The principal himself gave the orders."
---
- Subject: You (singular) → Reflexive/emphasizing: yourself

> "We enjoyed ourselves at the picnic."
---

✔ Answer: themselves
> "They blamed themselves for the mistake."
---

✔ Answer: herself
> "She looks at herself in the looking glass."
---
- Subject: Mother → Singular female → Reflexive/emphasizing: herself
✔ Answer: herself
> "Mother herself cooked this for me." → emphasizes she did it personally.
---
- Subject: The boys → Plural → Reflexive: themselves
✔ Answer: themselves
> "The boys found themselves in a bad situation."
---
- "You all" = plural → Emphasizing: yourselves
✔ Answer: yourselves
> "You all should do your work yourselves."
---

---
