Cambridge grammar of English

The Head of Department herself knows that the staff are unhappy.

The head of the company wrote to us himself to explain why they had been so

slow in sending us the toys.

Have the children paid for it themselves?

Cambridge Grammar of English



In spoken English, the reflexive pronoun is sometimes used as a header or as a tail:

Myselfthink it’s crazy.

He’d prefer wine, himself.

Û

96 Headers and 97 Tails

Reflexive pronouns for politeness

Reflexive pronouns are sometimes used instead of personal pronouns, especially

to mark politeness:



Most people were late, including us.

(more informal)



Most of the audience arrived late, including ourselves.

(more formal/polite)

After as forlikebut forexcept for, reflexive pronouns are particularly common,

although personal pronouns are also possible in each case. The reflexive use here

indicates greater politeness and deference:

These holidays are designed for people like yourself, young, fancy-free and

unattached.

(or: These holidays are designed for people like you, …)

[shop assistant addressing a customer who is considering a garment]

Is it for yourself?

As for myself, I haven’t decided yet.

Reflexive pronouns meaning alone

Reflexive pronouns, with or without the preposition by, are also used to mean

‘alone, from one’s own resources, without help’:



Did she draw that herself?

I think it would be better if you did it yourself.

He did it all by himself.

I can help until 4, then they’ll have to manage by themselves.
