Reflexive Pronouns (Kata Ganti Mandiri)

A reflexive pronoun is a pronoun that is preceded or followed by the noun, adjective, adverb or pronoun to which it refers (its antecedent) within the same clause.

We use a reflexive pronoun when we want to refer back to the subject of the sentence or clause. Reflexive pronouns end in "-self" (singular) or "-selves" (plural).

There are eight reflexive pronouns:
Singular : myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself
Plural     : ourselves, yourselves, themselves


Exampes:
