I always remember using to be taken to the zoo by my father when I was a child.

[Son Ho]

Could I change sentence 1 to sentence 2 or 3? I think sentence 3 is correct, but sentence 2 is incorrect. Using to is weird to me.
1. I used to be taken to the zoo by my father when I was a child. I always remember this.
2. I always remember using to be taken to the zoo by my father when I was a child.
3. I always remember being taken to the zoo by my father when I was a child.

#1 is OK.
#2 is not. 'Used to' has no participle forms.
#3 is OK.

Try:

I have fond memories of when my father used to take me to the zoo when I was a child.

I don't know why you would want to use passive voice there.

 

[Son Ho]

Try:

I have fond memories of when my father used to take me to the zoo when I was a child.

I don't know why you would want to use passive voice there.

I would like to use a gerund after remember.

Use your sentence #3.

 

[jutfrank]

I think you've used always incorrectly in all three sentences.

3. I always remember being taken to the zoo by my father when I was a child.

What do you mean by 'always'?

 

[Tarheel]

I wouldn't say I remember "being taken to the zoo". Why? It seems like something weird is happening. It seems like somebody is telling a story about something unusual happening, thus:

I remember being taken to the zoo when I was twelve. I never saw my family again.

 

[Son Ho]

What do you mean by 'always'?

I mean "always" is "all the time" in this situation.

 

[emsr2d2]

Do you mean that he took you regularly - so regularly that you felt like he took you all the time? I wonder if, in fact, you mean that you will always remember being taken to the zoo by your dad.

 

[Son Ho]

It is not "all the time" in the past but "at present". I mean that it is "at present" and "in the future", I will always remember this memory.

 

[Ostap]

not a teacher

I don't like the way "always" was used in the original either.

I will always remember being taken...
I often remember being taken...

 

[Tarheel]

It is not "all the time" in the past but "at present". I mean that it is "at present" and "in the future", I will always remember this memory.

That's a better way of phrasing it than in the original. Much better. Perhaps:

I will always remember my father taking me to the zoo when I was little.

I remember being taken aboard the alien spacecraft and being poked and prodded. I often have nightmares about it.
