Is himself a pronoun?

Himself is a reflexive third-person pronoun that refers to a male person. You can use “himself” as an object in a sentence when the same person is the subject (e.g., “My nephew taught himself how to tie his shoes”).

As a reflexive pronoun, “himself” can be a direct object, indirect object, or object of a preposition.

“Himself” can also be an intensive pronoun that emphasizes the subject (e.g., “Dev produced the album himself”).
