I need to analyze each underlined pronoun in the sentences to determine whether it's reflexive or intensive.
Let me review what I know:
- Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person/thing (e.g., "I hurt myself").
- Intensive pronouns are used for emphasis and can be removed without changing the core meaning of the sentence (e.g., "I did it myself").
Now, let's analyze each sentence:
1. "We ate popcorn by ourselves while watching a movie at the theater." - "ourselves" is reflexive because it refers back to "we" as the ones doing the action.
2. "You yourself ate the jelly bean after Brian's dare." - "yourself" is intensive because it emphasizes that YOU specifically ate it (could remove "yourself" and the sentence still makes sense: "You ate the jelly bean...").
3. "Those that participate in extreme sports are enjoying themselves." - "themselves" is reflexive because the participants are enjoying their own experience.
4. "Rational yourself not to be in too much of a hurry when you're driving." - "yourself" is reflexive because you are directing the action toward yourself.
5. "What are other members to be careful, so there's no happens." - This sentence appears grammatically incorrect. "other members" is not a reflexive or intensive pronoun.
6. "Before I take my test, I always ask myself in a prep room." - "myself" is reflexive because I am asking myself (the subject and object are the same).
7. "They will not be able to complete their homework." - There's no underlined pronoun here, or if "their" is meant to be analyzed, it's possessive, not reflexive or intensive.
8. "I must now use a deposit on an advertisement local program." - No clear underlined pronoun for analysis.
9. "Did you think he would betray about it himself?" - "himself" is intensive because it emphasizes that HE specifically would betray (could remove "himself" and the sentence still makes sense: "Did you think he would betray about it?").
Based on this analysis, I can provide the answers for the worksheet:
1. Reflexive
2. Intensive
3. Reflexive
4. Reflexive
5. Not applicable (not a reflexive/intensive pronoun)
6. Reflexive
7. Not applicable (no reflexive/intensive pronoun underlined)
8. Not applicable (no reflexive/intensive pronoun underlined)
9. Intensive
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of intensive pronoun worksheet.
