"remind sb. that" 是英语中常用的提醒类短语,意为:提醒某人(注意)某事;使某人想起某事。
其中,"that" 引导一个宾语从句,用来补充说明“提醒的具体内容”。
主语(提醒的主体,如人、标志、事件等)+ remind + 宾语(sb.,被提醒的人)+ that 从句(提醒的具体内容)
从句的时态:需与主句的时态呼应(主句是过去时,从句用相应的过去时态;主句是现在时,从句用所需的时态)。

She reminded me that I had forgotten my keys.(过去时→过去完成时)

that 的省略:口语中可省略 "that",但正式语境下建议保留。

主语的多样性:提醒的主体可以是人(如朋友、家人),也可以是物(如便签、标志、事件)。
