    This document discusses the use of "remember" and "forget" with gerunds and infinitives to indicate whether an action is in the past or future. Using a gerund like "locking" with "remember" or "forget" refers to a past action, while using an infinitive with "to" refers to a future action. Examples are provided to illustrate remembering to do something in the future and not being able to remember a past action.
