"acordarse de" or "recordar"?
► Both aco rdarse de and recordar can be used to translate to remember (used transitively), provided the object of remember is not another verb. Recordar is becoming less common, however, in everyday informal contexts:
Do you remember where he lives? ¿Te acuerdas de dónde vive? ¿Recuerdas dónde vive? ► Use aco rdarse de + ((infinitive)) to translate to remember to + ((verb)):
Did you remember to close the door? ¿Te acordaste de cerrar la puerta? NOTE: Don't use r ecordar for remembering to do sth.
► Use rec ordar + ((perfect infinitive/clause)) or acordarse de + ((clause)) to translate to remember + ((-ing)):
I remember closing the door Recuerdo haber cerrado or Recuerdo que cerré or Me acuerdo de que cerré la puerta
R ecordar also translates remind:
I must remind Richard to pay the rent Tengo que recordarle a Richard que pague el alquiler For further uses and examples, see main entry* * *[rɪ'membər, rɪ'membə(r)]
