I understand it well now, thank you very much.

Yes Allen they both mean the same thing. So often I would use "I don't remember helping you." I would use "I recall that you said we should eat dinner together....then I could say but I don't remember what my response was. Recall and remember mean the same thing when it is referring to words or thoughts. You can recall exactly what a person has said or done. As I mentioned you cannot say "Recall to take your laptop with you." We would never say that. So for things and objects you would only use "remember". "Remember to take your laptop with you."

Allan Chen 1 秒前编辑 Hi Deborah, Thanks for correcting me, but I am still puzzled about my question below. ---I don't remember helping you last time. ---I don't remember that I helped you last time. Question 1#, I know both mean the same thing. My English book says "remember doing something" is fine and often used, but which one is what you would often use it?

Good questions. You asked some intricate questions. Keep up the good work Allen.
