常見錯誤

❖ 'I reminded the meeting at three.' ✅ 'I reminded him about the meeting at three.' — Remind always needs an object: the person you tell.

❖ 'She reminded me of that I had to call the doctor.' ✅ 'She reminded me that I had to call the doctor.' — Use a that-clause directly after the object, not 'of that'.
