Problem Description:
The task is to match the pronouns on the left with their corresponding reflexive pronouns on the right. Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same. The hint provided is:
-
me →
myself
-
we →
ourselves
Solution:
#### Step 1: Understand Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are formed by adding "-self" or "-selves" to certain pronouns. Here are the general rules:
- Singular pronouns: Add "-self" (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself).
- Plural pronouns: Add "-selves" (e.g., ourselves, yourselves, themselves).
#### Step 2: Match Each Pronoun
We will match each pronoun on the left with its corresponding reflexive pronoun on the right.
1.
I →
myself
- "I" is a singular pronoun, so the reflexive form is "myself."
2.
you →
yourself
- "You" (singular) corresponds to "yourself."
3.
he →
himself
- "He" is a singular pronoun, so the reflexive form is "himself."
4.
we →
ourselves
- "We" is a plural pronoun, so the reflexive form is "ourselves."
5.
she →
herself
- "She" is a singular pronoun, so the reflexive form is "herself."
6.
they →
themselves
- "They" is a plural pronoun, so the reflexive form is "themselves."
7.
it →
itself
- "It" is a singular pronoun, so the reflexive form is "itself."
8.
you (plural) →
yourselves
- "You" (plural) corresponds to "yourselves."
#### Step 3: Verify Matches
Let's verify the matches:
- I → myself
- you → yourself
- he → himself
- we → ourselves
- she → herself
- they → themselves
- it → itself
- you (plural) → yourselves
All matches follow the rules for forming reflexive pronouns.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
&\text{I} \rightarrow \text{myself} \\
&\text{you} \rightarrow \text{yourself} \\
&\text{he} \rightarrow \text{himself} \\
&\text{we} \rightarrow \text{ourselves} \\
&\text{she} \rightarrow \text{herself} \\
&\text{they} \rightarrow \text{themselves} \\
&\text{it} \rightarrow \text{itself} \\
&\text{you (plural)} \rightarrow \text{yourselves}
\end{aligned}
}
