In the sentence "I cleaned the kitchen myself, I know that the counter was wiped down," myself is a reflexive pronoun.A reflexive pronoun refers to the noun or pronoun that appears earlier in the sentence. In this case, myself refers back to the subject of the sentence, which is "I." Reflexive pronouns end in "-self" or "-selves" and are used to show that the subject is performing the action on themselves.Here, the reflexive pronoun is used to emphasize that the speaker personally cleaned the kitchen and that no one else helped them.

REFLEXIVE :)
