Pronouns: Reflexive Or Intensive? Worksheet - Free Printable

Task: Identify whether the pronoun in bold is reflexive or intensive and write "R" for reflexive or "I" for intensive.

#### Reflexive Pronouns:
Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same. They end in "-self" or "-selves" (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves).

#### Intensive Pronouns:
Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize the noun or pronoun they refer to. They also end in "-self" or "-selves" but are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. They can often be removed without changing the core meaning.
