Grammar Rules
反身代词(Reflexive Pronouns)是一类用来表示动作的承受者与执行者是同一人或物的代
词。其形式通常是在相应人称代词后加self(单数)或selves(复数)。
· 反身代词作宾语。例如:
She cut herself while cooking.她做饭的时候割伤了自己。
Take good care of yourself.照顾好你自己。
He talks to himself in the mirror.他对着镜子自言自语。
· 反身代词作主语或宾语的同位语,强调主语或宾语的身份,表示“本人、亲自”的意思。例如:
Mrs Black herself is a lawyer.布莱克太太本人就是一名律师。
You'd better ask the driver himself.你最好问问司机本人。
· 反身代词作表语。例如:Just be yourself.做自己就好了。
· 固定搭配:by oneself独自help oneself自便 enjoy oneself玩得开心behave oneself举止得体
should 意为“应该;应当”,表示较强烈的建议,隐含“按常理、责任或最佳选择去做”,其后接
动词原形,否定形式为should not/shouldn't,意思是“不应当;不该”。例如:
I think you should lie down and rest.我认为你应该躺下休息。
You shouldn't take such risks.你不该冒这么大的风险。
could 意为“可以;不妨”,表示较委婉、试探性的建议。例如:
You could cook a meal by yourself.你可以自己做一顿饭。

Teaching Reflection
This lesson focused on reflexive pronouns and advising with “should/could”through “health problems” scenarios. The chart exploration in 4a effectively guided students to summarize rules, especially distinguishing “should”from“could”.Practice activities in 4b-4d worked well too. However, some students struggled with reflexive pronoun-person agreement. Next time, I'll give
them more drills.
