Reflexive vs. Emphasis

This worksheet requires students to determine whether the bolded pronoun is being used as an intensive pronoun or as a reflexive pronoun. Learners must analyze each sentence and label it accordingly. The task helps students understand the functional difference: reflexive pronouns are necessary for the meaning of the sentence, while intensive pronouns simply add emphasis. Students develop close-reading skills as they evaluate the role of the pronoun within the sentence. The activity supports precise grammar knowledge and reduces confusion between often-misused pronoun types.
