How a reflexive pronoun quiz helps you learn the rule

Reflexive pronouns such as myself, yourself and themselves are easy to spot in a sentence but easy to misuse under test pressure. A grammar quiz on reflexive pronouns works best when each question forces you to pick the right form and explain why, not just recognize a familiar word.

Check whether the object refers back to the subject before choosing -self or a plain object pronoun.
Watch for nonstandard forms such as hisself and theirselves, which are marked wrong on most grammar tests.
Remember that reflexive pronouns cannot serve as the subject of a sentence.
Read each explanation even when you answer correctly, since the reason is what transfers to new sentences.

Example reflexive pronoun quiz questions

Choose the correct word: The students prepared (themselves / theirselves) for the exam.themselves. Reflexive pronouns with plural subjects use -selves, and theirselves is nonstandard.

Fill in the blank: I cut ___ while slicing the bread.myself. The subject I and the object refer to the same person, so a reflexive pronoun is required.

True or false: Reflexive pronouns can be the subject of a sentence.False. Subjects use forms like I, he or they, while reflexives such as herself act as objects or add emphasis.

Choose the correct word: Please help (you / yourself) to some soup.yourself. The idiom help yourself uses a reflexive that refers back to the listener.

Which sentence uses an intensive reflexive? A) The manager himself approved the budget. B) He hurt himself.A. Himself adds emphasis and can be removed; in B, himself is the object that refers back to he.

The core rule is that a reflexive pronoun is used when the object of a verb refers back to the subject, as in She taught herself Spanish. A regular object pronoun is used when the receiver is someone else, as in She taught him Spanish. Intensive uses like The manager himself approved the budget add emphasis and can usually be removed without changing the meaning.

Because the quiz is generated from your own handout, it reflects the exact examples and terms your course uses. Paid plans let you export the questions for other tools: PDF and DOCX on Plus, and Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 on Pro.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use a reflexive pronoun instead of a regular object pronoun?

Use a reflexive pronoun when the object of a verb is the same person as the subject, as in She cut herself. Use me, him or them when the object is a different person, as in She cut him a slice.

Is hisself ever correct in standard English?

No. Standard English uses himself, and hisself is nonstandard, so it is typically marked wrong on grammar quizzes and exams.

Can I export the quiz to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are on the Pro plan, and PDF and DOCX export are included in Plus.

Yes. The free plan includes three generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start.
