Los pronombres reflexivos se utilizan para indicar que la persona quien realiza la acción es la misma que la recibe.

Los pronombres reflexivos se utilizan en tres situaciones principales.

1. Cuando el sujeto y el objeto del verbo son el mismo.

• I bought myself an expensive pair of shoes
• They call themselves “The blue angels”.
• He hurts himself.

2. Se usan como el objeto de una preposición cuando el sujeto y el objeto son el mismo.

•  I bought a present for myself.
• She did it by herself. (She did it alone.)
• That man is talking to himself.
• He never talks about himself.
• 3. Algunas veces se usan cuando se quiere hacer énfasis en el sujeto.
•                He'll do it himself. (No one else will help him)
• Usamos la preposición “by” cuando realizamos algo por cuenta propia:
•  
• I did my homework by myself.
• We can do it by ourselves.
•  
• •Cuando se quiere reemplazar un pronombre personal:
•  
•                A beautiful girl like yourself should be a model. (Se reemplaza el pronombre “you”).
• Los pronombres reflexivos siempre actúan como objetos y no como sujetos, requieren una interacción entre el sujeto y un objeto.
• Por ejemplo:
• Because she was not hungry when the cake was served, Angie saved herself a piece.
• 
  En las clausulas independientes, “Angie” es el sujeto y “ella misma” es un pronombre reflexivo actuando como un objeto indirecto.
