Grammar:

Reflexive & reciprocal pronouns

Reflexive pronouns

• You use these in situations in which the subject (onderwerp) and the direct object (lijdend voorwerp) are the same person:
• "You should go and love yourself"

Reflexive pronouns

• You don't use reflexive pronouns after verbs like wash, dress and shave.
•         These verbs describe actions which people usually do for themselves.
• Exception: you want to put emphasis on the person performing this action: She's old enough to dress herself.

Reflexive pronouns

Singular (-self)

• I ... myself
• You ... yourself
• He ... himself
• She ... herself

Plural (-selves)

• We ... ourselves
• You ... yourselves
• They ... themselves

1. She looked at ... in the mirror.

2. We bought ... a present.

3. You (singular) should introduce ... to your neighbours.

4. They tried to do everything ...

5. Sometimes it seems like I don't even really know ...

6. He should learn to behave ...

7. Are you (plural) going to paint the house ... ?

Reciprocal pronouns

• You use these to talk about each other or one another = 'elkaar'
• "Can we ... keep each other company?"

Reciprocal pronouns

• You don't use reciprocal pronouns after verbs like meet, marry, hug, cuddle, embrace and kiss
• These verbs already imply that multiple people are involved.

Exercise 25 (p. 39)

Read the descriptions and write down what you would say in English (5 min.)
