1. We use reflexive pronouns when the subject and object in a sentence are the same, as in the following examples.

• The baby saw himself/herself in the mirror and laughed.

• If you don't know him, you should introduce yourself.

2. In imperative sentences with reflexive pronouns, use:

Yourself when the subject is singular. Don`t push yourself so hard, Tom.

Yourselves when the subject is plural. Don`t push yourselves so hard, guys.

3. Reflexive pronouns are also used to stress or emphasize a noun, in which case they are most often placed immediately after the noun, as in the following example sentences.

• Money itself can't buy happiness.

• The company president himself made the announcement.

4. The use of "by + reflexive pronoun" signifies that the performer of the action had no help, as in this example sentence.

• She made the dress by herself.

However, "be + reflexive pronoun" means to act or behave in an unusual manner.

• Just be yourself at your interview.
