What is mirror pronouns?

Mirror pronouns are a type of pronoun that reflects back on the subject of the sentence. They are used to refer to the same person or thing that is already mentioned in the sentence. Mirror pronouns are also called reflexive pronouns.

Some examples of mirror pronouns are "myself", "yourself", "himself", "herself", "itself", "ourselves", "yourselves", and "themselves".

Mirror pronouns are used in a sentence when the subject and the object are the same. For example, "I hurt myself while playing basketball" or "She took care of herself during the pandemic".

Mirror pronouns are also used to emphasize the subject of the sentence. For example, "I myself saw the accident happen" or "She herself made the cake from scratch".

It's important to note that mirror pronouns are not to be confused with intensive pronouns, which are used to emphasize the noun or pronoun that came before it. For example, "I myself am going to the concert" or "She completed the task all by herself". In these examples, "myself" and "herself" are intensive pronouns.
