Definição e Significado de "reflexive pronoun"

What is a "reflexive pronoun"?

A reflexive pronoun is a type of pronoun used when the subject and the object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. Reflexive pronouns end in "-self" or "-selves," such as "myself," "yourself," "himself," "herself," and "themselves." For example, in the sentence "She taught herself to play the piano," the reflexive pronoun "herself" refers back to the subject "she." Reflexive pronouns are important for indicating that the action of the verb is directed back at the subject, ensuring clarity in sentences where the subject performs and receives the action.
