  • Ana Pete.

  • I have a new assignment for you.

  • A show on single parents.

  • What is it like for a mother or a father to raise a child by herself or himself?

  • We can interview single parents.

  • They can share their experiences themselves.

  • Yes, but you need to experience parenthood yourselves ourselves.

  • Yeah.

  • How do we do that?

  • We're not parents.

  • I asked myself the same question.

  • I said, Katie, how are they going to do that?

  • Then an idea came to me.

  • I will give you the babies.

  • You may be asking yourself the same thing that I'm asking myself.

  • What is Miss Weaver talking about?

  • I am sure we will find out shortly.

  • This lesson teaches reflexive pronouns.

  • Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of a sentence or clause.

  • We use them when the subject and the object are the same person or thing.

  • For example, Miss Weaver says, I asked myself the same question.

  • I is the subject and myself refers back to it here.

  • She would not use the pronoun me.

  • You need to use the reflexive pronoun myself.

  • Reflexive pronouns are easy to find.

  • They end in self or Selves.

  • I have a feeling We are going to see a lot of reflexive pronouns.

  • Listen for them.

  • Here are your babies.

  • Those are bags of flour.

  • No, Pete.

  • For the next six days, this'd is your baby.

  • Here are your instructions.

  • Do not leave your babies alone.

  • Ah, baby cannot take care of itself.

  • And you, too must do everything by yourselves.

  • We will meet next Friday.

  • Oh, and the person who does the best research will get an extra day of vacation.

  • Help yourself to a baby, Pete.

  • Look, my baby is organic and whole grain.

  • Your baby is ordinary monster.

  • This is a great idea, Miss Weaver.

  • This is a terrible idea.

  • Speak for yourself, Peach.

  • We need to throw ourselves into the research.

  • I'm starting right now.

  • Hey, Ana, You forgot your baby.

  • Come to Mama.

  • Good girl.

  • Good girl.

  • Singular reflexive pronouns and in self plural ones end in Selves.

  • Ana says we need to throw ourselves into the research.

  • The subject.

  • We is plural.

  • So we must use the plural reflexive pronoun ourselves.

  • Thing is hard.

  • I hope Pete is not doing well.

  • I really need that vacation day way will all see how Pete is doing in the next episode.

Ana Pete.
