常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Remember"?Which "Remember" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I don't remember to lock the door.
✓I forgot to lock the door.
使用 'remember' 表示成功回憶或記得做某事。當你沒有做某事時，應該用 'forget' 來表示忘記做。
×I remember to visit the museum when I was a child.
✓I remember visiting the museum when I was a child.
'remember + V-ing' 表示記得過去已經發生過的事情。'remember + to V' 表示記得要去做某件未來的事。這裡是回憶童年，所以要用 V-ing。
×I remember that.
✓I remember that day/event/person.
'remember' 作為及物動詞時，通常需要一個明確的受詞（名詞、子句或 V-ing）。單獨使用 'that' 作為受詞顯得不自然且語意不清，應具體說明記得的事物。
×I can't remember his name right now, but I will remember it later.
✓I can't recall his name right now, but I will remember it later.
'recall' 強調「努力回想」的過程，而 'remember' 通常表示「記憶存在」的狀態。一時想不起來，應用 'recall' 或 'remember' 的進行式 'trying to remember'。
×I remember about my childhood.
✓I remember my childhood.
'remember' 是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞，不需要加介系詞 'about'。'think about' 或 'talk about' 才需要 'about'。
×I am remembering my password now.
✓I remember my password now.
'remember' 是一個狀態動詞，通常不用進行式。除非特別強調「正在努力回想」的過程，否則用簡單式即可。
