To solve this worksheet, we need to match the subject of each sentence with the correct reflexive pronoun. A reflexive pronoun is used when the person doing the action (the subject) is also the one receiving the action.
Here is the step-by-step logic for each question:
1.
"I told \_\_\_\_\_\_ to always give all my effort."
* The subject is
I.
* The reflexive pronoun for "I" is
myself.
* Answer:
myself
2.
"We gave \_\_\_\_\_\_ a pat on the back for the good work."
* The subject is
We.
* The reflexive pronoun for "We" is
ourselves.
* Answer:
ourselves
3.
"Please calm \_\_\_\_\_\_ down."
* This is an imperative sentence, which means the subject is implied to be
You.
* Since it addresses one person generally, we use the singular form.
* The reflexive pronoun for "You" (singular) is
yourself.
* Answer:
yourself
4.
"He took \_\_\_\_\_\_ out of the ball game."
* The subject is
He.
* The reflexive pronoun for "He" is
himself.
* Answer:
himself
5.
"She whispered to \_\_\_\_\_\_ when she was alone."
* The subject is
She.
* The reflexive pronoun for "She" is
herself.
* Answer:
herself
6.
"They gave \_\_\_\_\_\_ a twenty minute break."
* The subject is
They.
* The reflexive pronoun for "They" is
themselves.
* Answer:
themselves
7.
"You guys gave \_\_\_\_\_\_ a more difficult task."
* The subject is
You guys, which refers to multiple people (plural).
* The reflexive pronoun for "You" (plural) is
yourselves.
* Answer:
yourselves
8.
"The dog ran \_\_\_\_\_\_ into the fence."
* The subject is
The dog. Since "dog" is an animal/thing and singular, we treat it as "it".
* The reflexive pronoun for "It" is
itself.
* Answer:
itself
Final Answer:
1- myself
2- ourselves
3- yourself
4- himself
5- herself
6- themselves
7- yourselves
