remember
Keep in mind
Remember is to bring back to mind something known or experienced.
You remember a name, a face, a childhood event.
To remember someone to another is to pass along greetings: Remember me to your mother.
To be remembered is to be kept in memory after death: He will be remembered for his generosity.
Remember also means not to forget—to keep something in mind for action: Remember to lock the door.
