Reflexive Pronoun

Reflexive Pronoun:  When the subject and the object refer to the same person, a reflexive pronoun is used for the object. The reflexive pronouns (ending in-self) are used when the action denoted by the verb is directed toward the thing referred to by the subject.

This means that whenever there is a reflexive pronoun in a sentence, there must be a person to whom that pronoun can refer. e.g.

My + self= Myself (Singular)

You + self== Yourself (Singular)

You + selves=* Yourselves (Plural)  

Our + selves= Ourselves (Plural)

Him + self=Himself (Singular) 

Her + self=Herself (Singular) 

Them + selves= Themselves (Plural)

It+selves= Itself (Singular)  .
