Behave yourself, or I’ll come over there and behave you the hard way.
Disagree. She needs to behave herself. He needs to behave himself. I want to behave myself. They need to behave themselves. We need to behave ourselves. It needs to behave itself.
So yeah. Can be done.
Those are all examples of the subject behaving themselves, not some else
As in “nobody acts like you”?
Or as in “nobody’s words but your own words can guide your behavior”?
Or as in “nobody but you can describe your own behavior”?
Something else?
I’m talking about the phrase “behave yourself”. In the English language, there is no such thing as behaving someone else, only behaving yourself. I don’t know if there’s another language where “behave someone else” makes linguistic sense
