English Grammar - REMEMBER & FORGET - gerunds & infinitives

www.engvid.com/ "I remembered to buy milk" or "I remembered buying milk"? What is the difference in meaning? "I forgot to water the plant" or "I forgot watering the plant"? English teachers often use similar questions in their tests. In this lesson, we will look at the verbs "remember" and "forget" and when they should be followed by a gerund or an infinitive. The meaning of "I remembered to watch this class" and "I remembered watching this class" is very different. Watch and find out how. And remember to take the quiz: www.engvid.com/remember-forget...

[@CrownAcademyEnglish]

The big difference between the 2 structures is that in the first one (remember + infinitive) we remember what we need to and then we do it. In the second structure (remember plus verb -ing) we do something and then remember it after. It is a subtle difference but it changes the meaning. I hope this helps :)

Emma, thank you so so so so much. I hadn't understood this topic before I watched you. However, thanks to you "remember", "forget", "try" and "stop"+infinitive+gerund topics are so clear for me.

Thank you for making this video Emma! Actually these kinds of details speak volume when speaking English day to day, the way I took it in was: I forgot leaving a comment, as another way to say that I forgot that I left a comment by way of example.

[@babyshop1014]

Thank you Emma, That's is amazing

[@luffylucyfamily]

Your lesson is easy to understand. It’s really great. By the way, could I have a question? In example 2 for Remember to do, you said: ”I remembered to buy some milk”, I confused whether I had bought or not yet at the time I said it. I hope you would explain it whenever you’re free. Thanks so much.

[@ipekylmaz9742]

Lesson is very good. It explains everything about the subject

[@081ufuk]

you are really great teacher emma :) thank you

[@dinaraotorbaeva758]

Thanks!You are the best teacher!

[@yoputito]

Great lesson as always! I was wondering if you could prepare a lesson on the 'rules' to use different prepositions and the form of the verb that follows them. For example: I have 'to work' late tomorrow; Thank you 'for calling' this morning; I'm looking forward 'to hearing' from you... Thank you so much!

[@a1exxero]

Me neither. I guess it's a name. There a few rare names in this video that i haven't see before. Correct my grammar pls, cause i'm not sure I wrote it right.

[@TheDaoke]

a1exxero you're right, Inssk is someone's name.

[@iurinobre842]

It's a name. You can see Emma saying 'she' refering to Insook.

[@markster8456]

I was about to Google it, actually.

[@02sanja]

Great Emma, I like all your videos. I have learnt a lot through them, but I have to make you a confession. I really didn't understand well the big difference between REMEMBER TO DO SOMETHING Vs REMEMBER DOING SOMETHING. Sorry. Maybe I'm not smart enough to get it, Ja! Anyway, I will keep on practising!! Congrats!! You are the best teacher I have ever seen.

[@99celestial]

Thanks for your class.
