Question

What type of pronoun is "yourself" in the sentence, "Do it yourself"?

• A. Possessive
• B. Demonstrative
• C. Reflexive
• D. Interrogative

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Reflexive

• "Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same, which is the case in "Do it yourself" because "yourself" refers to the same person (you) who is performing the action (doing it).
  • Examples for reflexive - myself, herlself, itself, ourselves etc. 
• Demonstrative pronouns - this, that, these, those
• Possessive pronouns show ownership or possession, such as "your," "his," "her," "its," etc.
• Interrogative: Interrogative pronouns (e.g., who, what, which) are used to ask questions.
