object pronounce "you" or "yourself" preceding primary object [closed]
We would like John and _____ (you/yourself) to come to the party
Regarding the above sentence, I've done quite a fair bit of Googling and still haven't found a substantial and satisfactory explanation for this. I'm a native speaker of English, yet, I find this question nonetheless perplexing; I can't quite put my finger on it.
My arguments for 'you'
It's an objective pronoun. The example shown below seems grammatically correct and is commonplace in English.
I would like to see you here tomorrow.
My arguments for 'yourself'
The example shown below seems grammatically accurate as well.
You love yourself more than anyone else.
Solution 1:
In your example, yourself is being correctly used as a reflexive form (you love yourself).
If someone invites you to a party (with or without another person), the verb is not reflexive, so yourself is inappropriate.
