Using Emphatic Pronouns to Intensify Your Writing

Khan Academy

This educational video provides a clear and concise explanation of emphatic pronouns, also known as intensive pronouns. The narrator begins by reviewing reflexive pronouns to establish a baseline, explaining how they are used when a subject performs an action on themselves. He then pivots to the main topic, demonstrating how the same words (myself, himself, herself) function differently when used for emphasis rather than as essential grammatical objects.
