Grammar
"remember to DO"
Thank you for your help.
Please have a look at the following sentences.
I would like you to check these.
(1) John remembers urgent/constant/regular to buy this magazine.
(2) Did John kissing Mary in front of their parents bothered them?
(3) Did (that) John kissed Mary bother her parents?
(More concretely, I would like to know whether we can put adjective phrase(s) between the idiom "remember to DO." Also, I want to know how long subjects of a sentence can be.)
