Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
I am teaching ________ to speak English.

• A. himself
• B. yourself
• C. us
• D. myself

Answer 1

The correct option is D myself

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject 'I' performs an action towards the subject itself, such that the subject and object are the same (of different forms, the subject pronoun is 'I' and the object pronoun is 'myself').

Option D: The reflexive pronoun for 'I' is 'myself', hence option D is correct.

Options A, B and C: 'Himself' and 'yourself' are reflexive pronouns for the subjects 'he' and 'you', respectively. They both cannot be used when the subject is 'I'.

'Us' is an object pronoun but does not go with the subject 'I'. Also, 'us' is not a reflexive pronoun.

Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
