Reflexive pronouns

Quelques Règles D'utilisation des Pronoms Réfléchis

The reflexive pronouns are :

Singular : Myself yourself himself /herself/itself

Plural : Ourselves yourselves themselves

We use the reflexive pronouns when the subject and object are the same .

I am looking myself at the mirror. I = Subject Myself = object

Compare :

- It 's not our fault. You can't blame us.

- It's our own fault. We can blame ourselves.

We DO NOT use a reflexive pronoun after these verbs : meet, feel , relax , concentrate

- Do you feel excited ? not 'feel yourself excited'

- What time shall we meet ? not 'meet ourselves', not 'meet us'.

We normally use wash/ shave/ dress/ without a reflexive pronoun :

- He gets up, washes, shaves and dresses each morning. Not washes himself etc

BUT we say - I dried myself
