Do it yourself!

Do you like to talk about yourself? Most of us do. The –self pronouns are very popular words. However, they usually are not allowed to be subjects. Look at these examples:

WRONG: Vicky and myself will collect money for charity.

WHY IT IS WRONG: The subjects of this sentence are Vicky and myself. Myself cannot be a subject.

RIGHT: Vicky and I will collect money for charity.

WHY IT IS RIGHT: Now the sentence has proper subjects: Vicky and I.

WRONG: Herself thinks she is as important as the president.

WHY IT IS WRONG: Herself cannot be a subject.

RIGHT: She thinks she is as important as the president.

WHY IT IS RIGHT: She is a proper subject.
