The object forms of few pronouns
Hi all,
What are the difference between these example sentences please?
These are pictures of me. vs These are pictures of myself.
Ask you this question. vs Ask yourself this question.
And like these.
To me, personally, all four are correct, although some patterns might be commoner.
Top answer
KhoshtipMan These are pictures of me. These are pictures of myself. The first one is correct.
- KhoshtipMan These are pictures of me.
- These are pictures of myself.
- The first one is correct.
- However, people are increasingly using "myself" unnecessarily, apparently in the mistaken belief that it is always more correct or more polite.
- Therefore you may encounter the second one too.
