Remember, recall, and a tense question

0The word 01i00Remember02i00, according to a dictionary, has two primary verb definitions. The first is the process of storing data in your memory, which is the antonym of “forget.” The second definition is the process of recovering lost data – information you once remembered and then forgot; in that sense, remembering could happen either by effort or spontaneously. 02br
02br
00Jack: 01i00I’m missing my cellphone; where could it be?02i02br
02br
00Jill: 01i00I have no clue...Actually, wait a second… I now remember that I heard ringing from the trash bin.02i02br
02br
00Jill is, obviously, using “remember” in the second definition. Is it correct to use it in the present tense? Or, because you could only tell it after you had already remembered, it could only take the past tense?02br
02br
00Also, more generally, what are the differences among the three: remember, recall, and remind. Particularly, what is the difference between “remember” and “recall”?0-
