themselvesnottheirselves.


They worethemselves out.

not


They woretheirselves out.

Using intensive pronouns


Intensive pronouns are the same words as reflexive pro-
nouns but are used for emphasis.


He,himself, presented the prizes.
I wrote itmyself.

It isnotcorrect to use this form of the pronoun when the
object does not reflect the subject.


That house belongs tomyself.

This is incorrect. It should be:


That house belongs tome.
