is the pronoun in bold reflexive or intensive? when the revolutionaries stormed the city, the emperor and i disguised ourselves as peasants and escaped. intensive reflexive.
A reflexive pronoun refers back to the subject of the sentence. In this sentence, "ourselves" refers back to "the emperor and I", showing that the action of disguising is done by the subjects (the emperor and I) to themselves. An intensive pronoun emphasizes the subject. Here, "ourselves" is not just for emphasis but is essential as it is the object of the verb "disguised" and refers back to the subject.
