There are some mistakes in forum about use of 'remember'. An individuals remembers. But he reminds others. If you forget something, I shall not 'remember' that to you. I shall 'remind' you. Thus 'remind' means 'making others remember'.

I agree that this is simple difference. But I wrote the post because a member had thanked me for 'remembering' Dr. Rajendra Prasad birthday to members. Obviously, I could not remember Dr. Rajendra Prasad to members. I could only remind them. I could remember myself but not remember to others. i could only remind them.

Again, 'remember' does not mean 'not to forget'. You may forget but still you may remember later when the forgotten thing comes to your memory. 'Remember' is your own mental action. But you remind others. You cannot remember something to others.

Remember can also be called as not forgotten.

Remind can call as to Remind other about forgotten or not forgotten thing.

I appreciate the effort taken by Gulshan ji in showing the correct usage but i think who ever have done the mistake should know this. It is better to post this different in the thread where the mistake has been done.
