Let's solve these exercises about reflexive pronouns! 🎯

First, let's understand what reflexive pronouns are:
- They are used when the subject and object of the sentence are the same person/thing
- Common reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves

Exercise 15 solutions:
1. I taught myself how to ride a bicycle.
2. We enjoyed ourselves at the party.
3. My little brother painted the picture himself.
4. Ann is standing in front of the mirror and looking at herself.
5. Their dog hurt itself yesterday.
6. Behave yourself! (Веди себя хорошо!)
7. Write back and tell me about yourself.
8. George and Sue can do it themselves.
9. I repaired the bicycle myself.
10. They decided to paint their house themselves.

Exercise 16 solutions:
1. He can't concentrate because it's very noisy.
2. Let me introduce myself. My name's Leo Barret.
3. The knife is very sharp. Be careful or you'll hurt yourself.
4. The kettle is very hot. Don't burn yourself.
5. Is your dog still ill? - No, it feels quite well.
6. Do you often see your classmates? - No, not very often. We sometimes meet at weekends.

Remember! 📝
- Use reflexive pronouns when the subject performs an action on itself
- Not all verbs in English require reflexive pronouns (unlike some other languages)
- Common verbs that often use reflexive pronouns: introduce, hurt, teach, enjoy, concentrate

Remember! 💡
- Use object pronouns (me, him, her, them) when the person is the object of the action
- Use reflexive pronouns (myself, himself, etc.) when the subject and object are the same
- Time linkers (and, then, when, before) help to show the sequence of events
