Hello, everyone.
There is an example sentence that is a little bit awkward to me.
"You make me want to be a better me."
It looks awkward to me.
To tell you why I think it looks awkward to me, I want to give you another example.
"There is a little girl and she is reading a book."
In the latter example, "she" as a pronoun refers to "a little girl"
That is to say, "she" includes "a", indefinite article.
We don't need to rewrite "a" because the word "she" includes "a".
To return to the main point, Just in my opinion, "me", as it is also a pronoun, has a notion of "a".
But why in the frist example, is "a" used with "me"?
Is the example just okay to use?
Did I miss anything? Please somebody enlighten me.
Thank you in advance.
