What Is an Intensive Pronoun?
An intensive pronoun is al-most iden-tical to a reflex-ive pronoun. It is defined as a pro-noun that ends in self or selves and places em-phasis on its ante-cedent by referring back to another noun or pro-noun used earlier in the sentence. For this reason, intens-ive pronouns are sometimes called emphatic pro-nouns. You can test a word to see whet-her it’s an intensive pronoun by removing it from the sen-tence and check-ing to see if the sentence has the same impact.
