remember/recall/remind
What's the difference between all these words? Do they mean the same? Can I say " Can you recall how we form Past Simple"?
"Can you remind me what I should buy?"
Thank you in advance.

Remember is when you think of a memory ( a past experience). Remind is when a person or thing makes you think about something. e.g Your brother reminds me of a famous singer. Recall- To bring the memory of a past event into your mind. e.g The old man recalled the city as it had been before the war.

I recall when I was a young man
I remember when I was a young man
The action is in present but the memory is past
Yesterday I recalled an old story I had read many years ago
Yesterday I remembered an old story I had read many years ago
The action is in the past, but the memory is in deeper past
I remember to lock my door every time I leave my house
The action is habitual so simple present
We do not say, 'I recall to lock my door.........'
As other answerer said, someone can remind you to do something, usually future
But
When I saw the woman last night, she reminded me of my first love, all in the past, not future
I have to remind myself to put on sunscreen before I go out, present habitual action

Remember and recall are synonyms. They mean the same. They refer to the past. However to remind someone is alerting them to do something in the future. They already know they are supposed to do something you are just reminding them (telling them) not to forget.

Hi, Anna,
I found these through Google translator...
Remember = zapamiętaj, pamiętać
Recall = wspominać
Remind = przypominać
For usage, "remember" is typically used for "something stored in memory," while "recall" is used for "calling back to one's memory." It seems, at least in the US, that "recall" is used more often for legal situations, while "remember" is used for everyday situations.
"Remind" is not the same as the other two. "Remind" means to "make someone remember" something.
I hope this answer helps. Please let me know if it doesn't.
