Reflexive pronouns – those preceded by the adverb, adjective, pronoun, or noun to which they refer, and ending in –self or –selves.

Demonstrative pronouns – those used to point to something specific within a sentence. There are only four demonstrative pronouns – this, that, these, those – but the usage can be a bit tricky at times.

Intensive pronouns – those ending in –self or –selves and that serve to emphasize their antecedents.

In many cases, the sentence would still make sense without the intensive pronoun.
