Reflexive Pronouns

English reflexive pronouns end in -self' or -selves and are used when the subject of the verb and the direct object of the verb are the same person. For example, in the sentence 'Jane bought herself a new coat' the reflexive pronoun 'herself' refers back to Jane'.

The singular reflexive pronouns are: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself.
The plural reflexive pronouns are: ourselves, yourselves, themselves.

Gender equality: I, strongly believe, there should not be any kind of prejudice or bias between a male child or female child in our families.
This is the root cause of all the problems that our mothers, sisters, wives, friends, girlfriends are enduring since a long period.

Try to support the females, it will happen only when we start from our own families.
Our nation will feel proud only if the women like PV Sindhu, Sania Mirza, Deepika Padokone, Sania Nehwal are large in number.

Be bold, be wise..
All the beautiful women around start supporting each other instead of demeaning each other's light, ignite the 🔥 of self- confidence, boldness, empathy, we are one.
Support Gender equality proud to be women for worth for right independent 🙌💓❤
