homeschoolmom Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 [quote name='Autumn Dusk' post='1545245' date='May 27 2008, 05:49 PM']I think you could say "She lives in the same town as myself" it sounds odd, tho... but "She lives in the same town that I do" sounds kinda hick-like[/quote] Why people use "myself" to sound formal is beyond me. It just sounds.... wrong. "She lives in the same town as I" is correct. But "She and I live in the same town" is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homeschoolmom Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 For clarification: "Myself" is either a reflexive pronoun (I hurt myself) or and intensive pronoun (I did it myself). It is not used when you don't know if you should use "I" or "me." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
