Is "the mayor himself spoke to the crowd" intensive or reflexive

Intensive pronoun

Explanation:

Intensive and reflexive pronouns are very similar, they have the same form: myself, yourself, himself/herself/ itself, ourselves, yourselves (plural), themselves; but their functions in a sentence differ.

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object are the same.

Intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the subject or antecedent of the sentence. Usually, an intensive pronoun is right after the noun or pronoun it’s modifying.

Important to know: intensive pronouns aren’t essential to a sentence, you can omit it, but reflexive pronouns are important for a sentence's meaning.

As for our sentence - The mayor himself spoke to the crowd.

If we remove the pronoun himself, does the sentence still make sense?

Yes, it would keep its meaning and needed information - The mayor spoke to the crowd.

Therefore, 'himself' is an intensive pronoun in this sentence.
