Realizing pronominal verbs just from agreement between me/te,.. and subject (verb's person)
In a text i want to realize that the verb is pronominal or normal one without focus on sentence concept. If "me" precedes a verb in first person, It can be said the verb is pronominal and so i refer to pronominal meaning section of verb in a dictionary. Also for te and second person verb and so on. For example:
me acuerdo: both "me" and " acuerdo" are for first person so "me acuerdo" is pronominal verb and i refer to pronominal meaning of verb in dictionary: I remember.
te acuerdo: "te" is second person and "acuerdo" is first person so "te acuerdo" is normal verb and i refer to normal meaning of verb in dictionary: I award you (for example as a slave!)
me veo en un espejo: both "me" and "veo" are for first person, so "me veo" is pronominal verb.
veo a Mario en un espejo: there is just "veo" verb, so "veo" is normal verb.
Is this analysis true? Could you give me an example that it doesn't obey this rule?

It is a good rule and will always work when there is only one object pronoun. When there are two object pronoun the pronomial pronoun will always come first.
