Saad Alsubaie

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for your lesson! I’ve been living in the US for 2 months, and I can say, that native speakers use reflexive pronouns a lot. Sometimes it might be very confusing, when someone asks you ‘Did you like it? Did you enjoy yourself’? The very first thing, that always came in my mind ‘How could I enjoy myself? I didn’t do anything with myself, I enjoyed the weather!’ but now I know this grammar, and I’m going to use it:)Thank you again!

tanita

I got 5/6
thank you so much Rebecca

May

This is awesome ! This will help me improve my writing skills. I may have lack some proper writing skills due to my deafness.

An awesome place to learn online!

Vickie

Hmmm…. I wan to try apply it in the sentences, for example :

– I force myself to speak english every day.
– I ask my daughter to help herself for daily activity, like getting dressed,taking a bath, etc.

Dear Rebecca, what about those sentences? Is it correct? Please, give me your comment. Thank you for you attention.

diana

Your first sentence is correct. The second sentence is not quite right. There are many ways to improve it, such as this below:

I asked my daughter to become more independent by doing daily activities, such as getting dressed,taking a bath, etc.
by herself.

All the best to you.

Rebecca

Hi Ms. Rebecca

I´ve been really enjoying myself the lesson. Perfect combination: video explanation and Quiz – very helpful!

Thank you very much indeed.

Regards,
Tascha

Tascha

[I forced myself to wake up early in the morning.]
[Please helped yourself if you want something to drink]

Dear Rebecca, is my sentences correct? Please give your comment. Thank you for your attention.
Cheers…

diana2608

The first one is correct:

I forced myself to wake up early in the morning.

The second one needs a small change:

Please help yourself if you want something to drink.

All the best to you, Diana.

Rebecca

thxs …nice lesson

tomsonac

thanks teacher;alas, I taught this lesson before watching your video :(

evergreennoble

I’m sure you did a good job, too. Always nice to hear from a fellow teacher. My best wishes to you and your students.

Rebecca

(I prepared myself for this project.)
(He was responsible by himself for this mistake)
Dear, are the above sentences correct?

Inayatk99

This one is fine:

I prepared myself for this project.

This one could do with some improvement:

He himself was responsible for this mistake.

or just

He was responsible for this mistake.

All the best to you.
Dear, are the above sentences correct?

Rebecca

Dear teacher Rebecca:Is first time a write you some comments, I love to read all your lessons your lovely voice meke me understand your explanations, the reflexives pronouns are very useful I got 100% I spend time reading the comments of your students . God bless your heart all the best to you.

CapriCubana

Dear Rebecca
what’s the difference between
John and me are parteners and John and
I are partners?

thank you for your attention

Tarek

John and me are parteners and John and
I are partners?

The correct sentence would be:

John and I are partners.

This is because the word “I” can be used as a subject, whereas the word “me” can only be used as an object.

For example,

He gave me a gift.
They lent me their car.

More on this point in this lesson of mine:

https://www.engvid.com/common-english-errors-i-or-me-she-or-her/

All the best to you, Tarek.

Thank you for your vid. My question is, at the end of the vid. you said “I hope you enjoyed this lesson”, Shouldn’t be “I hope you enjoyed yourselves this lesson”?
Thank you for your answer

I hope you enjoyed yourselves watching this lesson.

I hope you enjoyed yourself.

Hello dear Rebecca! Could you help me about my speaking skill? I have a big problem with my speaking skill, I study English very hard but I cannot speak very well. :(

farhad

To improve your speaking skill, you need to find opportunities to speak! You can do this by finding a private teacher or an English-speaking friend who will correct your errors, or else you could join a Conversational English class.

My best wishes to you, Farhad.

Rebecca

I love your teatching method

shosho

Hai Madam,
Thank you very much for your wonderful lesson. It is very helpful to me and your teaching method is excellent. Thank you once a gain.

Nisha

tapan76

Hi, Teacher Rebecca. First over all, I would like to thank for this fantastic website. It is helpful, wonderful and so on. My doubt is on phrases that contain indefinite pronoun everybody and similar, with relfexive pronoun. For instance:

… I know that everybody here is just worried about ” itself” or “themselves”

as the indefinite pronoun is in singular mode, I cannot use itself, couse it is related to the pronoun IT. So, what is the answer? Thanks a lot, And I hope I will meet you personally. Kisses

ricardo2k13

erratum:
I hope I will meet you in person.

ricardo2k13

Thanks for the question.
You cannot use itself with everybody. So,in this case, it would be best to say:

Everybody enjoyed themselves.

All the best, Ricardo.

Rebecca

i enjoyed myself with ur leassons.

renza

oh yeah. . thank you for the free lessons..love yuh…mwaah…god bless teacher

sarish khan

First,I would like to thanks for teaching useful lessons. I like all your videos.Thank you.

sandhya daggubati

John and me are parteners and John and
I are partners?

The correct sentence would be:

John and I are partners.

This is because the word “I” can be used as a subject, whereas the word “me” can only be used as an object.

For example,

He gave me a gift.
They lent me their car.

More on this point in this lesson of mine:

illich

Dear rebacca,

I love myself to watch your lesson.

You are dedicated to yourself while teaching a lesson. (It mean you are explaining well)

I thought the second one is grammatically correct. But I am not sure. Your teaching is really good.

Could you please tell me the above two sentences are correct?.

Veera

Hey Veera,
1’st is not correct. I love watching your lesson. is correct.
2’nd is correct just grammatically . It had been a pleasure. Bye Veera

viacheslavkr

I watched the video about the the reflexive, but I felt funny hearing or saying I enjoyed myself, doesn’t it have like a sexual meaning too.

pablonicholas4444

Dear Rebecca

When is not possible to identify the gender of the subject, for instance, “student” or ” visitor” , and this subject is singular, what is the suitable reflexive pronoun to be used?

magall

The short answer: “himself or herself” or “themselves”. For more, check out Emma’s lesson.

engVid Moderator

Maybe I wasn’t clear. Sorry!
The point is whenever I have a subject in a sentence which gender can be both, what is the appropriate reflevive pronoun to be used. Emma’s lesson hasn’t helped me to clarify that question

magall

Thanks Rebecca.
