Hi,

'Remember' means 'not forget'. 'Remind' means make yourself or somebody else, remember. Let's put both verbs in one sentence:

I forgot to lock the back door last night - I just didn't remember to do it and I would like you to remind me to lock it tonight.

Hope that helps

Alan

Then what's the difference between "Just" and "Only"? I know when to use it but I dont know the explanation.

As a rule of thumb, use just whenever you make a present perfect statement as in "I've just finished my washing", and use only when you could also say merely or nothing but.
