15. Reflexive Pronouns A reflexive pronoun refers back to the subject and directs the action of the verb back to the subject. Reflexive pronouns are necessary to the meaning of the sentence – you need it so the sentence makes sense. Example – Houdini called himself a master escape artist.

16. Intensive Pronouns An intensive pronoun emphasizes a noun or another pronoun in the sentence. They are not necessary to the meaning of the sentence – you can take them out and the sentence will still make sense. Example – I myself like to perform magic tricks.
