Step-by-step solution for: Intensive Pronouns Worksheets
The task involves identifying whether the verbs in each sentence are reflexive or intensive. Let's go through each sentence and determine the correct answer.
- Reflexive verbs involve an action that the subject performs on itself. The reflexive pronoun (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves) is used to indicate this.
- Example: "She washed herself." (The subject "she" washes herself.)
- Intensive verbs emphasize the subject performing the action. The reflexive pronoun is used for emphasis but is not necessary for the meaning of the sentence.
- Example: "I myself cooked dinner." (The reflexive pronoun "myself" emphasizes that I did it personally.)
