How to teach about " myself and yourself"

I am a new teacher, and I have difficult to teach students about myself and yourself. Could any one helps me!!
  

Top answer

Myself and yourself are reflexive pronouns. The easiest way to teach them would probably be to tell your students that you use a reflexive pronoun when the object and subject are the same thing. " John (subject) and me (object) are two different people, so the pronoun would be in the objective case.

For example,

"John scratched me." John (subject) and me (object) are two different people, so the pronoun would be in the objective case.

"I scratched myself." I (subject)
