The sentence you are using is called a "Reflexive pronoun."
You would be wrong to refer to "Me" in this sentence, although I have heard many Germans use it in this manner.
Alan gives further examples here;
* I saw myself on the TV news last night. * You saw yourself on the TV news last night. * He saw himself on the TV news last night. * She saw herself on the TV news last night. * It saw itself on the TV news last night. (Let's imagine the "it" here refers to the dog!) * We saw ourselves on the TV news last night. * You saw yourselves (plural) on the TV news last night. * They saw themselves on the TV news last night. _________________ Keep it simple ... Keep it interesting. |
