Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to pick the correct reflexive pronoun that matches the subject of the sentence. Remember, reflexive pronouns end in “-self” (for singular) or “-selves” (for plural), and they must match who is doing the action.
Here are the options we can use:
- myself
- yourself
- himself
- herself
- itself
- ourselves
- yourselves
- themselves
Now let’s solve each sentence:
1.
I saw ______ in the mirror.
→ The subject is “I”, so the reflexive pronoun is “myself”.
✔ Answer: myself
2.
The dog ran ______ into the fence.
→ “The dog” is an animal — we treat it as “it”, so reflexive is “itself”.
