Is the phrasal verb reflexive or alpha verb?
What is the correct saying for “the alarm clock starts automatically”? Is it always “switches itself off”? Does the same happen with an intransitive verb like “wake up”, that is, can we say “I always wake up myself”?
What is your experience like to become a model for others?
What is the meaning of “The kettle shuts off
itself” in the English language?
What does the speaker mean by itself? Is it loose manner to talk as in verbal language?
On the one hand always wake up myself would be misguided. People might wonder whether you were simply saying that you always wake up, whether you wake yourself up or whether you mean wake up by yourself; that’s to say, without anybody else beside you.
So I think that the answer would depend on the phrase concerned and on the context.
