Hello, Hello, everyone. How are you today? So happy that you're here. 

And today we are going to speak about four words that can sometimes get mixed up when we use them. So the words we're dealing with are remember, remind, forget, recognise. But just before I get into the explanation, rate yourself from 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest 10 being the highest. How well you understand these words and how well you think you can use these words. Have got your number. Excellent. 

So I'm going to give you a few of the rules. And if you want to have a specific exercise to practice, I do have a newsletter that comes out on a weekly basis, and you can just sign up for that. (The link is above) And I have some regular exercises that I post in that newsletter, and you can practice your English even more. So here we go. 

Let's start with remember. 

So the rules for remember are, we can use remember, plus a gerund. Remember, meeting someone somewhere for the first time. Yeah, it's something in the past, I remember meeting, so and so, at the party.

Then we have remember, when something happened. After 'remember', you can use 'when'.  We can remember a person and we can remember to phone someone.  We can remember to call someone.  'to phone' or 'to call' are interchangeable. 

Our next word, remind: 

We can remind someone to phone you, 

we can remind someone about a message. 

And we can remind someone of another person. 

So after remind, we always have someone 

Recognise, we can recognise somebody's face, we can recognise a piece of music that we're listening to. 

Recognise is about a person or a thing.

And then forget, 

We've got forget that you did something. 

You can forget to do something. 

You can forget something. So you can forget a birthday message and appointment.

And you can forget about something.
