V angličtine majú zvratné zámená (Reflexive Pronouns) nasledujúce tvary:
Osobné zámená | Zvratné zámená |
I | myself |
you | yourself |
he | himself |
she | herself |
it | itself |
we | ourselves |
you | yourselves |
they | themselves |
Zvratné zámená používame, keď je predmet vety rovnaký ako je podmet, napr.:
- She shouldn’t blame herself for the situation.
- Tom cut himself while he was preparing dinner.
- They built the relax zone for themselves.
Ak sa tieto zámená viažu s príslovkou miesta, alebo predložkou with, použijeme namiesto nich predmetové osobné zámená, napr.:
- Zoe had a lovely dog sitting next to her.
- We are going to take our aunt and her kids with us.
- He took us with him to Split.
