Sometimes in English

Laura C.C1Kwiziq community member

In some regions where English is spoken, they do the same thing. I don't do it, but I've heard people say things like "I'm gonna eat myself a big fat sandwich." This may be helpful for the English speakers who use this to understand the concept.

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Position of Spanish reflexive and direct object pronouns with infinitive/present participle and affirmative commands"

Hola Laura C.

That’s a good comparison, although in English it tends to be used more for emphasis than as a standard grammatical structure. It can still be a useful parallel for English speakers when thinking about how pronouns are used in Spanish.

Un saludo
