30. The COMPOUND PERSONAL p.r.o.nOUNS are formed by adding _self_ or _selves_ to certain of the objective and possessive personal p.r.o.nouns; as, _herself, myself, itself, themselves_, etc. They are used to add emphasis to an expression; as, _I, MYSELF, did it, He, HIMSELF, said so._ They are also used reflexively after verbs and prepositions; as, _He mentioned HIMSELF, He did it for HIMSELF_.

The compound personal p.r.o.nouns should generally be confined to their emphatic and reflexive use. Do not say, _MYSELF and John will come_, but, _John and I will come_. Do not say, _They invited John and MYSELF_, but, _They invited John and ME_.

The compound personal p.r.o.nouns have no possessive forms; but for the sake of emphasis _own_ with the ordinary possessive form is used; as, _I have my OWN book, Bring your OWN work, He has a home of his OWN._

31. There are no such forms as _hisself, your"n, his"n, her"n, theirself, theirselves, their"n_. In place of these use simply _his, her, their_, or _your_.

EXERCISE 13
