Rewriting a Sentence Using a Suitable Reflexive and Possessive Pronoun
Reflexive pronouns always end with -self (singular) or -selves (plural). They refer back to the subject of a sentence, or the subject of a clause. The subject always comes before the reflexive pronoun.
Reflexive pronouns are used when both the subject and the object of a verb are same. Hence, they should match with the subject.
Subject (singular) |
I |
you |
he |
she |
it |
Reflexive pronoun |
myself |
yourself |
himself |
herself |
itself |
Subject (plural) |
we |
you |
they |
Reflexive pronoun |
ourselves |
yourselves |
themselves |
Possessive pronouns refer to a specific person or thing. They indicate who or what owns something.
Jay (subject) | gave a party for | himself (reflexive pronoun) | and for | his (possessive pronoun) | friends. |
The subject of the sentence is Jay. Since Jay can be replaced with the singular, masculine pronoun he, so the correct reflexive pronoun is himself. The possessive noun Jay’s can be replaced with the possessive pronoun his.
Hence, himself is used to replace Jay as the object of the proposition, for.
