remind [of]
How come in sentence 1 the preposition 'of' isn't used and in sentence 2 it is? Am I mistaken? Should of be inserted in 1?
Remind me what was said at the meeting.
I was reminded of what was said at the meeting.
Remind me what was said at the meeting.
I was reminded of what was said at the meeting.

The preposition is optional in both sentences, and it is usually not used when the reminder begins with a question word. Need I remind you where you are? She always reminded me how lucky I was.
