When would you most likely use a intensive pronoun?

You would most likely use an intensive pronoun when you want to emphasize the noun or pronoun that is already the subject of a sentence.

Here are some specific situations:

* To add emphasis to the subject: "I myself baked the cake." (emphasizes that *I* did the baking)

* To clarify the subject: "The president himself announced the new policy." (emphasizes that the president, not someone else, made the announcement)

* To show a contrast: "The dog itself ate the entire bone." (emphasizes the dog, contrasting it with other potential eaters)

* To add formality or seriousness: "The committee itself decided on the final outcome." (emphasizes the committee's authority)

Remember: Intensive pronouns are formed by adding *self* or *selves* to a reflexive pronoun (e.g., myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves).

Here are some examples of intensive pronouns in sentences:

* She herself wrote the entire book.

* The children cleaned the house themselves.

* The mayor, himself, promised to address the issue.

* We ourselves will decide on the next course of action.

While not strictly necessary, intensive pronouns can add emphasis and clarity to your writing.
