Reflexive Pronouns Exercises For Afrikaans Grammar

Japanese students practicing grammar exercises for language proficiency 

In Afrikaans grammar, reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of the sentence are the same. These pronouns indicate that someone or something is performing an action on itself. They are commonly used with verbs that reflect actions, thoughts, or emotions, for example, to wash oneself (om *self* te was) or to be proud of oneself (om *self* trots te wees). In Afrikaans, the reflexive pronoun is formed by using ‘self’ along with the personal pronoun, e.g., ‘myself’ (my *self*) or ‘yourself’ (jou *self*). Learning reflexive pronouns in Afrikaans helps in creating more complex and intricate sentences in the language.
