Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object in a sentence are the same person.

For example:

John hit himself with a hammer.

But remember, when the subject and object are different people, use the regular object pronouns (me, you, he, she, it, us, and them**.)

I hit her (Susan) with a hammer.

John hit him (Jack) with a hammer.

Check Your Understanding
