Which sentence correctly avoids the misuse of a reflexive pronoun as a subject?
AJohn and I went to the store.
BJohn and myself went to the store.
CMyself and John go to the store.
DMyself and John went to the store.
Explanation
Reflexive pronouns such as ‘myself’ should only be used to refer back to a subject already mentioned in the same clause, such as ‘I hurt myself,’ and should never be used in place of a subject pronoun like ‘I.’ This is why ‘John and I went to the store’ is correct, while both ‘Myself and John’ and ‘John and myself’ incorrectly use the reflexive form where a simple subject pronoun is needed.
