 Re: many
Part 1:
I have to admit that I am having a problem here. I had once asked whether the sentence:
2-I don't remember a lot of things that happened that night.
could mean:
2a-There are a lot of things that happened that night and that I don' t remember.
The answer seemed to be yes.
We seem to be agreed that 2a is not necessarily a negation of "I remember a lot of things that happened that night." May-be there are a lot of things that I do remember and a lot of things that I don't remember.
But if I have understood correctly things don't seem to be the same as far as:
1-I don't know many things about her.
is concerned.
Does 3-"I don't remember many things that happened that night." mean exactly the same as:
3a-There are many things that happened that night and that I don' t remember. (and may_be many things that I do remember)?
I know I may be complicating things. If that is the case, just ignore this post! |
