This tests reflexive pronouns. When 'I' do something to myself, we use 'myself.' The word 'myself' shows that I did it to me.

This tests reflexive pronouns. We enjoyed ourselves at the park. When 'we' do something together, we use 'ourselves'.

We match pronouns to who does the action. 'They' means more than one person, so we use 'themselves.' It's the right match!

This tests reflexive pronouns. When 'I' do something to me, I use 'myself.' It's like a mirror word!

This tests CCSS.L.2.1.c (using reflexive pronouns like myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, themselves correctly). A reflexive pronoun is a special pronoun that ends in -self or -selves and is used when someone does an action to or for themselves. Reflexive pronouns must match the subject: I→myself, you (one person)→yourself, he→himself, she→herself, it→itself, we→ourselves, you (many people)→yourselves, they→themselves. For example: 'I made myself lunch' (I did it for me), 'She taught herself to read' (she taught her own self), 'We enjoyed ourselves at the party' (we had fun - we did). Choice B is correct because 'himself' matches the subject 'Chen' in person and number. This correctly shows Chen did the action to/for himself. Choice A is an object pronoun not reflexive. Second graders often use me instead of myself, confuse which reflexive goes with which subject, use hisself instead of himself, mix up himself and herself, use ourselves with I. Teach common incorrect forms to avoid: NOT meself (myself), NOT hisself (himself), NOT theirselves (themselves). Connect to independence: Reflexive often shows doing something alone/by yourself.

A reflexive pronoun is a special pronoun that ends in -self or -selves and is used when someone does an action to or for themselves. Reflexive pronouns must match the subject: I→myself, you (one person)→yourself, he→himself, she→herself, it→itself, we→ourselves, you (many people)→yourselves, they→themselves. For example: 'I made myself lunch' (I did it for me), 'She taught herself to read' (she taught her own self), 'We enjoyed ourselves at the party' (we had fun - we did). The reflexive shows the action comes back to the person doing it. Choice A is correct because 'herself' matches the subject 'Sofia' in person and number. This correctly shows Sofia did the action to/for herself. Choice B is an object pronoun not reflexive. Second graders often confuse which reflexive goes with which subject. Practice with actions: 'I can see ___' (point to self - myself). 'She can dress ___' (point to girl - herself). Use sentence frames: '[Name] did it by [reflexive],' '[Subject] made [reflexive] a snack.'

Second graders often use me instead of myself, confuse which reflexive goes with which subject, use hisself instead of himself, mix up himself and herself, use ourselves with I. To help students: Create matching chart: I-myself, you-yourself, he-himself, she-herself, it-itself, we-ourselves, you all-yourselves, they-themselves. Teach the pattern: -self for one person, -selves for more than one.

This correctly shows Jamal did the action to himself. Choice D is an incorrect form, and second graders often use hisself instead of himself.

This tests reflexive pronouns. Emma did something for Emma, so we use 'herself'. When a girl does something to or for herself, we say 'herself'.
