What is a pronoun or reflexive pronoun?

A pronoun is a Word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

A reflexive pronoun takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing, 'reflecting' back to its antecedent noun or pronoun.

The reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

Examples:

My father works at night. He usually sleeps through the morning.

• The possessive adjective 'my' takes the place of the noun (name) for the person speaking.
• The personal pronoun 'he' takes the place of the place of the noun 'father'.

Today, father got up and made himself some breakfast.

• The reflexive pronoun 'himself' reflects back on the noun antecedent 'father'.
