Como puedes comprobar, la partícula "SE" es de una gran importancia. Pero no es una partícula aislada. En realidad es un objeto complemento indirecto. Y cada persona (cada pronombre personal tiene el suyo prop. Veamos:

Yo me ......................+ el verbo conjugado correctamente de acuerdo a la persona
te ........................+ el verbo conjugado correctamente de acuerdo a la persona
Usted se................. + el verbo conjugado correctamente de acuerdo a la persona
El se ........................+ el verbo conjugado correctamente de acuerdo a la persona
Ella se .................... + el verbo conjugado correctamente de acuerdo a la persona
Nosotros nos ........ + el verbo conjugado correctamente de acuerdo a la persona
Vosotros os ........... + el verbo conjugado correctamente de acuerdo a la persona

As you can see , the particle SE seems to be very imortant. But it isnot an insolated particle. It is actually an indirect object complement And each person (each personal pronoun requires its own indirect object. Let´s see:

Yo me ......................+ the verb correctly conjugated according to the person
