Hello,
Here's a test from one my of colleagues.
- I'll go and see the president ......... if I have to.
1) myself
2) himself
To me, either is correct, depending on what the writer means. The first person reflexive means that I and only I should see the president, whereas the third person means I want to see him and nobody else.
See below, please:
Example 1: Someone else already went to see the president and didn’t get what you want —-> I’ll go see him myself!
Example 2: You asked three different company vice presidents and they all blew you off —-> I’ll go see the president himself!
Correct me if I am wrong, please.
