Definition, Examples, Exercise"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>If you have ever said something like <em>\u2018I made this cake myself,\u2019<\/em> you have already used an intensive pronoun\u2014even if you didn\u2019t know it yet. This pronoun is used to emphasize the subject of the sentence. It adds force or focus, but it\u2019s not required for the sentence to make sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we\u2019ll explain about intensive pronouns, how they are different from reflexive pronouns, and how to use them correctly in your writing and speaking. Learning grammar doesn\u2019t have to be hard, and today, we are making intensive pronouns super simple to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-intensive-pronoun\"><span id=\"what-is-intensive-pronoun\">What is Intensive Pronoun?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An intensive pronoun is a type of pronoun used to emphasize a preceding noun or pronoun in a sentence. It highlights the subject to show that they performed the action personally or with extra focus.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intensive pronouns include myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. These pronouns are not necessary for the sentence\u2019s basic meaning but add emphasis.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in the sentence <em>\u2018I baked the cake myself\u2019,<\/em> the word <em>\u2018myself\u2019<\/em> emphasizes that <em>I<\/em> did it without help. Removing the intensive pronoun doesn\u2019t change the core meaning but reduces the emphasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Examples of Intensive Pronouns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples sentences using intensive pronouns. Each sentence uses this pronoun type to emphasize the subject\u2019s direct involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>She <em>herself<\/em> designed the entire wedding dress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The CEO <em>himself <\/em>approved the new policy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I <em>myself<\/em> witnessed the accident happen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We <em>ourselves <\/em>cleaned the entire house before the guests arrived.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The kids <em>themselves<\/em> built the treehouse without any adult help.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\">Also Read:<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/what-are-pronouns\/\"><strong>What are Pronouns?

Where do you place an intensive pronoun in a sentence?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">It usually comes immediately after the subject or at the end of the sentence.<br\/>Here is an example sentence: The manager <em>herself<\/em> signed the contract.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744799563747\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q2. Can a sentence still be correct without the intensive pronoun?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. That is the key feature of intensive pronouns. Removing these pronouns still leaves you with a grammatically correct sentence.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744799596057\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q3. Are intensive pronouns ever used as the subject of a sentence?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No. Intensive pronouns cannot act as the subject.<br\/>Incorrect use: Myself will attend the meeting.<br\/>Correct use: I myself will attend the meeting.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744799610187\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q4. Can I start a sentence with an intensive or reflexive pronoun?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Usually, no. Reflexive and intensive pronouns are not meant to replace subjects. A sentence like \u2018Myself will go to the store\u2019 is grammatically incorrect. Instead, say \u2018I will go to the store myself.\u2019<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1744799620568\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Q5. What is a common mistake with intensive and reflexive pronouns?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A common error is using reflexive\/intensive pronouns as subjects. For example, saying \u2018Myself and John went to the park\u2019 is incorrect. It should be \u2018John and I went to the park.\u2019<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-9891e2b86bcdf866762cb27cbf4ccefa\"><strong>Read other blogs on Pronouns here:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/what-are-object-pronouns\/\"><strong>What Are Object Pronouns?<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/object-pronoun-exercise\/\"><strong>Object Pronoun Exercise with Answers<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/demonstrative-pronoun-examples\/\"><strong>What are Demonstrative Pronouns?<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/pronoun-worksheet-for-class-1\/\"><strong>Pronoun Worksheet for Class 1<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/what-are-indefinite-pronouns\/\"><strong>What Are Indefinite Pronouns?<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/indefinite-pronouns-exercises\/\"><strong>Indefinite Pronouns Exercises<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/what-are-reciprocal-pronouns\/\"><strong>What are Reciprocal Pronouns?<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/reciprocal-pronoun-exercise\/\"><strong>Reciprocal Pronoun Exercise<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/what-is-interrogative-pronoun\/\"><strong>What is Interrogative Pronoun?\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/explore\/learn-english\/interrogative-pronoun-exercise\/\"><strong>Interrogative Pronoun Exercise\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this blog on <em>\u2018What is an Intensive Pronoun?\u2019 <\/em>helped you improve your English skills.
