What is the difference between reflexive and intensive pronouns?

Reflexive pronouns and intensive pronouns are the same words, but they have different roles in sentences.

These pronouns include “myself,” “themselves,” and “yourself.”

A reflexive pronoun can be a direct object, an indirect object, or an object of a preposition when it refers to the subject of the same sentence (e.g., “Bev ordered pepperoni pizza for herself and vegetarian pizza for her friends”).

An intensive pronoun is not an object in a sentence. Instead, it emphasizes another noun (e.g., “Bev picked up the pizza herself”).
