Reflexive Pronouns Worksheets
Reflexive pronouns end in -self or -selves and bounce the action back to the doer: I dressed myself, the twins fed themselves. Second graders match the -self word to the subject, which is the whole trick: who did it decides which word fits.

Reflexive Pronouns across the grades
2nd Grade
Reflexive pronouns end in -self or -selves and bounce the action back to the doer: I dressed myself, the twins fed themselves. Second graders match the -self word to the subject, which is the whole trick: who did it decides which word fits.
3rd Grade
The reflexive set runs myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves. Third graders choose by subject and number and learn to reject the tempting non-words hisself and theirselves, the classic error at this stage.
