What are REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS?
Reflexive pronouns refer to the pronouns that end in -self or -selves (eg. yourself, themselves) that are used when the subject and the object receiving the main action of a sentence are the same.
The word "reflex" means something that comes naturally, so to remember what reflexive pronouns are, just take a look if the subject and object are naturally the same.
Example: Over the years, I have learned to love myself and all my scars. (Notice how 'I' and 'myself' in this sentence point to the same person. This means that the pronoun 'myself' used here is reflexive.)
What are INTENSIVE PRONOUNS?
Intensive pronouns refer to the pronouns that end in -self or -selves (eg. yourself, themselves) that are used to show emphasis on the subject and/or object.
This means that the sentence does not necessarily need it and that it can function without it.
To identify whether a pronoun is an intensive pronoun or not, try to remove it from the sentence. If the sentence still makes sense, then you've got an intensive pronoun!
Example: Deep down, Felix himself knew that he despised wheat bread more than anything in the world. (Notice how the sentence can still perfectly function with or without the pronoun 'himself'. This means that it intensive.)
