how to use the word "remember"

[optimistic pessimist]

Hi, there!

1.This photo reminds me of Mr. Smith.

2.When I see this photo, I remember Mr. Smith.

Does #2 have the same meaning as #1?


Thank you!

Try this for second sentence:

When I see this photo, I recall Mr. Smith.

Hope it helps!!!

OP

The 2 sentences have slightly different meanings.

#1) Although Mr. Smith may not be in the photo, there is something about the photo that reminds the viewer of Mr. Smith.

#2) The person in the photo is Mr. Smith and the viewer remembers him.
