Reflexive Pronoun

Hi Everyone,

When to use:
yourself and yourselves
themself and themselves
ourself and ourselves
  

Top answer

"themself" and "ourself" are not correct because they are plural forms and must be used always in plural: "themselves" and "ourselves". On the other hand, "yourself" is used when the subject is the singular "you", and "yourselves" is used when the person referred is "you all" (plural). Hope this makes sense
