Pronoun – Emphatic Pronoun

When Reflexive pronouns are used for sake of emphasis on Nouns or Pronouns then they are called as Emphatic Pronouns.

Emphatic Pronouns are used after Nouns or Pronouns to make them stronger.

Like Reflexive pronouns, Emphatic Pronoun never becomes object of the Verb. Yes, It can become object of Preposition. We will tell you more about prepositions in next posts.

Where Reflexive pronouns are used in sense of “To SELF”, on the other hand, Emphatic Pronouns are used in sense of “BY SELF”.

Example of Emphatic Pronouns:

He himself wrote the letter.
She herself decided not to attend the marriage.
You can yourself ask him to come here.

Note: Reflexive or Emphatic Pronouns can never be subject of a verb.

Themselves decided that. – Wrong
They decided that. – Correct
They themselves decided that. – Correct
