0Hi guys,02br

00I've always thought I should use either a gerund or to-infinitive after the verb "to remember" (with a difference in meaning). Is it really ok to say - 01i00I remember you told me that02i00. And if yes, is it also ok to say (for example): 01i00he denied he'd spent all the money02i00 instead of01b00
