Reflexive pronouns can also
be used to
add emphasis.
In this situation, the meaning is is something like
"personally":
I myself don't believe him. (Personally, I don't
believe him.
Yes, Jane is leaving. She
herself told
me. (Jane personally told me that she is leaving.)
You yourself must be present.
No one can represent
you. (You must be
present personally. No
other person can represent you.)
___________________________________
For this use of reflexive
pronouns,
the pronoun
can also be at the end of the sentence:
I don't believe him
myself. (I don't believe
him
personally.)
Yes, Jane is leaving. She
told me
herself. (She told me personally.)
You must be present yourself.
No one can represent
you. (You must be present
personally.)
