Reflexive pronouns........الضمائر الانعكاسية
Reflexive pronouns are formed by adding self (singular) or selves (plural) to my, your, our (possesive adjectives) or him, her, it, them (object pronouns). Let us have a look at them now:
myself
yourself
himself
herself
itself
ourselves
yourselves
themselves
Reflexive pronouns are used to refer back to the subject:
She made this skirt herself. (That is, nobody helped her.)
I cut myself when I was peeling a clove of garlic.
They can also mean "in person" or "personally":
The mayor himself spoke for the abolition of the dealth penalty.
We saw the president himself at the reception. (Please note that himself refers to the president, not to the subject.)
The queen herself was among the demostrators.
If we say that John writes to Mary and that Mary writes to John, we are talking about a reciprocal action. This sort of actions are expressed by each other or one another:
They write to each other / one another once a month.
When the action expressed by the subject falls on other people or things, we employ personal object pronouns: He loves her. However, she may not love him; but if we say that he and Mary love each other, they are both in love. John loves himself means that John loves John, or, in other words, himself refers back to John.
