  15. Reflexive Pronouns • A reflexive pronoun refers back to the subject and directs the action of the verb back to the subject. • Reflexive pronouns are necessary to the meaning of the sentence – you need it so the sentence makes sense. • Example – Houdini called himself a master escape artist.

  16. Intensive Pronouns • An intensive pronoun emphasizes a noun or another pronoun in the sentence. • They are not necessary to the meaning of the sentence – you can take them out and the sentence will still make sense. • Example – I myself like to perform magic tricks.

  17. Interrogative and Demonstrative Pronouns Chapter 3, Lesson 6, Page 70

  18. Interrogative Pronouns • An interrogative pronoun is used to introduce a question. • Examples: • Who made up this riddle? • Which riddle are you talking about? • What riddle book did you read?
