    Re: "politics" and "policy" - what's the difference?



    can anyone tell me which tense the verb must be in in the following sentence:
    I knew Paul LIVED there VS I knew Paul LIVES there (considering that Paul still lives there)

    and what preposition is used after the verb "to email" in sentences like these:
    Email me TO / AT sport@times.co.uk
    Email your views TO / AT sport@times.co.uk

    You remind someone about something that they've forgotten:
    "I'll remind you about the meeting so you don't miss it."
    "She forgot my birthday even though I reminded her about it last week."

    You remind someone of something when there is similarity:
    "He reminds me of my brother... they look exactly alike."
    "This madeleine (cookie) reminds me of childhood."
    Пожалуйста, исправляйте мои ошибки.
