Wonder when to use the word myself? Well, it shouldn't be used nearly as frequently as it is!
Why? Because myself should only be used one the pronoun I has already been used earlier in the sentence.
Wrong: She gave it to myself and him.
Wrong: My husband and myself are thankful for this gift.
Wrong: I asked him to give it to myself.
Right: I asked for it myself.
Right: I was hoping to win it myself.
Right: I went to town quickly because I had to see it for myself.
Remember: Don't use myself unless you have already used I.
