Hi !

Pronouns ending in -self may not be used as subjects

example =
John and myself went to school = FALSE
John and I went to school = CORRECT

They do need an antecedent, are called reflexive pronouns and may be used in colloquial speech.

Hope I helped :)

.Answer:

Pronouns ending in -self may not be used as subjects.

Explanation:

Pronouns ending in -self or -selves are called compound personal pronouns, and they are dived into two categories:

Intensive pronouns: Are those used to emphasize a noun and they are always placed next to the noun they emphasized, therefore they can not stand alone and can not be used as a subject. For example, She herself straighten her hair.
Reflexive pronouns: They act as an object of a verb and are used when the subject and the object of a sentence are the same, for example, She takes care of herself daily, John hurt himself. As you may notice, these type of pronouns can not either be a subject.
