| Explanation | When remember means 'bring the memory of a person or thing into your mind (i.e. recall ) then can/could is usually optional: 'I (can) still remember the sad look on her face.' Use can/could to suggest effort: 'I just can't remember how the film ended.' 'I wish I could remember their address." When remember means 'have or keep the memory of a person or thing in your mind', it is usually used WITHOUT can/could: 'I hope you still remember me.' 'I'll always remember the night we first met.' |
