Common errors in English: Usage of Himself and Myself.

Himself, Myself etc


Incorrect : He hurt his self. 


Correct : He hurt himself.


Incorrect : I meself will talk to him. 


Correct : I myself will talk to him.


Note: The formation of all reflexive pronouns does not follow the same rule. The structure of the first and second person reflexive pronoun is ‘possessive + self’ (i.e. my/your + self or our/your + selves), But the third person reflexive pronouns are formed by adding self or selves to the object form of the simple pronoun (i.e. him + self = himself, them + selves = themselves etc.) In the pronoun ‘herself’, ‘her’ is the object form, not the possessive form.
