thank you, so... what should I say if I want to remind you something that you should already know but maybe forgot, for example:
-Remind that tomorrow is Paul's Bday
OR
-Remember that tomorrow is Paul's Bday
?

Remember means to recall something from the past into your mind at the present. That is like you remember your 6th birthday.
Remind means to bring something to someone else's memory or attention in the future. That is like you remind me at 6 pm today that I have somewhere I have to be.

Remembering is your own responsiblity. Being reminded is having to rely on someone elses foggy, burned-out memory.
