When use it and how to use it?

Best Answer
You use a possessive pronoun to replace a possessive determiner (eg my) and a noun:
You use a reflexive pronoun when the object (direct,indirect or attached with a preposition) of the verb is the same as the subject:
You also use a reflexive pronoun for emphasis
You can use a reflexive pronoun with by, to mean alone:
You can also use it to politely refer to somebody, but I find this very irritating.
