Reflexive pronouns are used in three main situations:
1. When the subject and object are the same.
E.g. I hurt myself.
2. As the object of a preposition referring to the subject.
E.g. I bought a present for myself. / The man is talking to himself.
3. When you want to emphasize the subject.
E.g. I’ll do it myself. / They ate all the food themselves.
