II. GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Reflexive Pronouns (5-6 minutes) ( 再帰代名詞 ) General Description: We use reflexive pronouns if the subject and object of the sentence are referring to the same person or thing. Listed below are reflexive pronouns in modern English. ( 文中の主語と目的語が同一人物もしくは同一のものを表現する時 再帰代名詞を使用します 下記が主語とそれに対応する再帰代名詞です ) Subject Reflexive Pronoun Singular Plural I Myself It Itself He Himself She Herself You Yourself Yourselves We Ourselves They Themselves Remember: Reflexive pronoun is always used as an object and not as a subject of the sentence. If the subject is plural, the corresponding reflexive pronoun (used as either direct or indirect object)should be in plural form also. ( 再帰代名詞は文中において 主語としてではなく 目的語として使用されます 主語が複数形の場合 対応する再帰代名詞も複数形となります ) The structure By + reflexive pronouns can be used if you want to emphasize something that you did alone or without any help from someone. (By+ 再帰代名詞は 他の人の助けを借りずに自分の力だけで成し遂げた事を強調したい時に使用されます ) When reflexive pronouns are used in imperative sentences, we usually remove or omit the subject You. The words hisself and theirselves do not exist. 3
