📝 Explanation:

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same. For example:
- “I hurt myself.” → I am the one hurting, and I am also the one being hurt.
- “They helped themselves.” → The group helped their own selves.

Always check:
- Who is doing the action?
- Is that same person receiving the action?

If yes → use the reflexive pronoun.
