Hi,

Are these sentences interchangeable?

1. Don't remind your parher with her mistakes of the past.
2. Don't remind your parher with her mistakes in the past.

Thanks.

Don't remind your partner OF her past mistakes.

Thanks, Barb_D.

You mean the number 1 is the correct one?

No, she means that you have to use 'of' instead of "with". And she shortened the latter part of the sentence.

The phrase "mistakes of the past" is okay, but since the correct preposition in this sentence is "of" (remind her OF) it would have an awkward "of... of" sequence if you left it as-is.
