REMEMBER and REMIND are commonly confused in English. Learn how to use these two words correctly. Hi folks, Charlie here. Let's look at the difference between "remember" and "remind." These are both words that have something to do with memory, but they are used in different ways and can be easily confused. Let's look at "remember" first. Now, if you remember a fact or something from the past, you keep it in your mind or bring it back into your mind. So it's something you do internally without outside help.
