Reflexive Pronouns.

 Use reflexive pronouns to talk about actions where the subject and the object are the same. Reflexive pronouns are formed by adding the suffixes -self- or -selves- to the pronoun.

- I cut myself making a bagel.

- He cut himself in the kitchen.

- They bandaged themselves after the accident.

- How did you hurt yourself?

You can also use reflexive pronouns to add emphasis. 

- I'm not going to help you. Do it yourself.

- The boss asked to speak to me himself. It was then I knew I was in trouble.

INSISTING

Sometimes when people injure themselves, they don't want others to make a fuss. They might say things like:

- Don't worry. I'm fine.

- It's not that serious. I don't need to see a doctor.

- Honestly, I can take care of myself.

Despite these reassurances, others may still insist on taking action:

- It's company policy that you go to the emergency room.

- I really must insist that you see a doctor.

- Don't be foolish. You have to take care of that.

In the end, the injured person may relent:

- I suppose you're right.

- The boss asked to speak to me himself. It was then I knew I was in trouble.
