How to use reflexive pronouns
July 25, 2022 06:00 - 5 minutes - 3.65 MBWe use reflexive pronouns when the subject both does and receives the action.

My name is Paul. The food is ready. Please, help yourselves. 📝 Read the blog and download your free cheat sheet right here: https://intrepidenglish.co.uk/how-to-use-reflexive-pronouns/ __________________________________________...
