Reflexive pronouns show that a pronoun refers back to the subject. They
are used when the subject and the object are the same.
Example:
She hurt herself.
Intensive pronouns show emphasis. An intensive pronoun
immediately follows a noun or a personal pronoun or is placed at the end
of the sentence.
Example:
He himself filed the case.
