Reflexive pronouns and reflexive verbs
A reflexive pronoun is used when the object and subject of a verb refer to the same person or thing:
He describes himself as a socialist.
It was dark and they found themselves in a strange part of town.
Please drive more carefully or you’ll kill yourself.
We saw ourselves in the mirror.
The city defended itself from attack.
Why do I set myself such impossible goals?
Verbs that require a reflexive pronoun
These are uncommon, and usually formal. This dictionary shows these verbs by marking -self in an example sentence:
The headteacher prides himself on knowing (=is pleased that he knows) the names of all 430 of his students.
acquit, comport, conduct (=behave); absent; avail; pride
With ‘behave’ the pronoun can be omitted:
The children are behaving themselves (=being good).
Will you please behave!
