UNIT 82. Myself/yourself/themselves etc.
A. Study this example:
George cut himself when he was shaving this morning.
We use myself/yourself/himself etc. (reflexive pronouns)
when the subject and object are the same:
subject -> (George) cut (himself). <- object
The reflexive pronouns are:
singular: myself yourself (one person) himself/herself/itself
plural: ourselves yourselves (more than one person) themselves
* I don't want you to pay for me. I'll pay for myself. (not 'I'll pay for me')
* Julia had a great holiday. She enjoyed herself very much.
* Do you sometimes talk to yourself? (said to one person)
* If you want more to eat, help yourselves. (said to more than one person)
Compare:
* It's not our fault. You can't blame us.
* It's our own fault. We blame ourselves.
Note that we do not use myself/yourself etc. after 'bring/take something with...':
* It might rain. I'll take an umbrella with me. (not 'with myself')
B. We do not use myself etc. after concentrate/feel/relax/meet:
* You must try and concentrate. (not 'concentrate yourself')
* 'Do you feel nervous?' 'Yes, I can't relax.'
* What time shall we meet? (not 'meet ourselves', not 'meet us')
We normally use wash/shave/dress without myself etc.:
* He got up, washed, shaved and dressed. (not 'washed himself' etc.)
But we say 'I dried myself'.
C. Study the difference between -selves and each other:
* Tom and Ann stood in front of the mirror and looked at themselves. (= Tom and Ann looked at Tom and Ann)
but * Tom looked at Ann; Ann looked at Tom. They looked at each other.
You can use one another instead of each other:
* How long have you and Bill known one another? (or... known each other)
* Sue and Ann don't like each other. (or... don't like one another)
D. We also use myself/yourself etc. in another way. For example:
* 'Who repaired your bicycle for you?' 'Nobody. I repaired it myself.'
'I repaired it myself' = I repaired it, not anybody else. Here, myself is used to emphasize I (=it makes it stronger). Some more examples:
* I'm not going to do it for you. You can do it yourself. (= you, not me)
* Let's paint the house ourselves. It will be much cheaper.
* The film itself wasn't very good but I liked the music.
* I don't think Sue will get the job. Sue herself doesn't think she'll get it. (or Sue doesn't think she'll get it herself.)
