Question

State whether true or false:
Reflexive and emphatic pronouns have the same form and function. [Advanced]

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

The statement is false
because reflexive and emphatic pronouns have the same form but not the same
function.
Reflexive pronouns are himself, herself, themselves etc and
are used to show that the object of the sentence is the same as the subject.
For example: She made the cake herself.
Emphatic pronouns take the same form as reflexive pronouns
i.e. himself, herself, themselves etc, but they are used mainly for emphasis.
For example: She herself asked us to
leave.
