Remind and Remember
Remind and Remember
Remember
“Remember” means to keep a person or thing in your mind or to bring a person or thing back to your mind. Think of “remember” as the opposite of “forget.” Listen to some examples:
I just remembered I left the water on.
Remember to bring a lock to store your belongings.
In the first example, notice that “remember” is followed by a clause. In the second, it is followed by an infinitive, also known as to + verb. “Remember” can also be followed by a noun that ends in –ing, as in “I remember leaving the water on.”
Remind
“Remind” means to cause someone else to remember something. In other words, a person can make sure someone else does not forget something. Listen to an example:
Can you remind him to buy more cat food? We ran out.
