Question

How should the writer revise the sentence to correctly include a reflexive pronoun? We decided to audition for the television show.

Answer 1

Answer:

We ourselves decided to audition for the television show.

Explanation:

Reflexive pronouns are pronouns that refer back to a person or thing. We usually use them when the subject (the one who performs an action) and the object (the receiver of the action) are the same.

The reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.

Reflexive pronouns are also often used to add emphasis to certain words. Like in the given example, they can emphasize that someone did something personally. That makes the fourth option the correct one:

We ourselves decided to audition for the television show.
