Tense usage and subjunctive with "to remember"

N5pn4cya — Mon, 08 Oct 2007 23:12:10 GMT

I'm not sure if there is any prescriptive rule to what I read in a statement as follows:

...after all these years, I asked him if he remembered who I was.

The sentence sounded okay to me, but I was also confused as to whether the subjunctive should be at play here and if the past tense of remember is used correctly in a semantic way.

Semantically, remembering someone is a present state of consciousness and a continuous action. Therefore, one should ask if someone "remembers" you (e.g. I wonder if he remembers me), but not "remembered" you unless it is explicitly describing an instance where you were once "remembered" but now possibly forgotten (e.g. He remembered me yesterday, how can he forget who I am today?). I don't know if this interpretation is valid and if it should be a consideration at all.

Grammatically, subjunctive may be used for subjective, doubtful, hypothetical, or grammatically subordinate statements or questions, as occurring in subordinate that clauses after a main clause expressing recommendation, resolution, demand. In my sample sentence, does its subordinate if-statement in the hypothetical "if he remember..." and the main clause expressing question/demand in "I asked him..." qualify for the subjuntive tense?

I thought about rewriting that sentence into: I asked him if he remember who I am.

However, the verb agreement rule seems to reject such a revision.

Please help clarify. Also, which one(s) of the following is/are correct:

1- I wonder if he remembers me. vs. I wonder if he remember me. (Should here be a subjunctive?)

2- Two days ago, he remembered whom I was. vs. Two days ago, he remembered whom I am. (Suggesting that the object "I" is the same person, in all respect, now as he was then two days ago. Is this okay?)

3- He remembers who I am. vs. He remembers whom I am. (who or whom in the dative position when using "to remember"?)

Thank you so much!

CPE exam writing section - comment please, rate please :)

Jenda — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 18:10:43 GMT

Hello, I'm thinking of taking a CPE exam soon, and am practising on sample papers. Most of them are multiple-choice questions that are easy to check against an answer key. Writing assignments, however, are not. Could you please have a look at what I wrote here, and give it an A, B, C, D or E grade, or a percentage? (D and E fail ) And please be honest, and be nitpicky. Any answers from English teachers would be especially valuable. Thanks!

Part 1

Your local council is proposing to ban all cars from the town centre because of problems with traffic, pollution and accidents. However, the following comments were made at a public meeting to discuss the situation:
"My car is the only way I have of taking my children to school safely and quickly."
"The shops in the town centre will close because people will go elsewhere to do their shopping."
"Public transport here is dreadful. We can't rely on it and it is too expensive."
The local council is inviting people to send in proposals in which they express their views of the council's plan and offer possible solutions to people's concerns.
Write your proposal.

To whom it may concern,

I am writing in response to the council's proposition regarding automobile traffic in the town centre, taking into account comments from the public meeting that took place recently. There are three main issues most people seem to have with the strict limitation the council would like to impose.

The first of these is the question of children and their getting to school. That is a trip the children have to make, and if the town wishes to prevent parents from driving their children to school themselves, it should provide a safe and comparably quick alternative, such as a satisfactory network of school buses.

The second issue is related to the shops within the town centre. Although it is a modern trend to remove large-scale shopping to the premises of towns, a ban on all cars in the town centre would make it even harder for our small shops to compete, as people have long since forgotten how to do their shopping on foot. We must decide if we want these shops to stay in town, and if we do, we should somehow compensate their loss, either by simply promoting downtown shopping among the populace, or by directly subsidising them.

The last, and probably broadest issue is one of public transport. Whether or not the council decides to ban cars in the town centre, the low reliability and high prices of public transport are issues that should be of high priority to the council, whenever traffic, pollution or safe streets are being discussed. As experience shows, only very few large cities are capable of creating a self-sustaining municipal transportation system that is reliable and yet affordable to the average citizen, so I propose the companies that offer these services in our town be subsidized as long as they fulfill the standards of quality and affordability the town requires of them.

Thank you for your consideration,

Jenda V.

Now, the papers also provide this for the person giving the exam:

Content
The expression of views on the given areas:

transporting children to school
loss of trade in town centre
poor and expensive public transport

Inclusion of possible solutions to the problems above.
Further points:

an analysis of why people use their cars so much
advertising to show dangers of cars and alternative means of transport

Range
Language for expressing and supporting views, and for making recommendations.

Appropriacy of register and format
Appropriate format for proposal, e.g. clear introduction with possible use of headings.

Organisation and cohesion
Organisation of content into sections. Ideas organised and argument well structured. Adequate use of linking and paragraphing.

Target reader
The local council would understand the writer's viewpoint.

Part 2

The 'Family Page' in your local newspaper has invited readers to write in with descriptions of how they learnt the value of money when they were children. You decide to write a letter describing how as a child you came to appreciate the value of money, and how important money is to you now in relation to other things in your life.
Write your letter. Do not write any postal addresses.

Dear Sir or Madam,
A brief account of my changing perception of money.

Ignorance: I have never needed money before the age of ten, because I never found myself in a place where I could spend it. The only place I spent my monthly allowance of $5 was the school cafeteria, where I occassionally bought a fifty-cent ice cream. The city was gigantic and in comparison, the little human being that was me could hardly achieve anything - let alone go shopping in a world where the only way to move around is in one's very own car.

Appreciation: Since all of my elementary needs have been covered by the resources of my family, the first time I actually felt what having money meant was almost 8 years later, when I spent a year studying in Canada. I worked there for minimum wage, but it was still at least twice as much as I'd make back at home, and it was money I could keep for myself. I only worked for 3 months, but during that time, I made enough money to be able to buy a brand new tenor saxophone when I got back. Although it would take me at least two more years till I found a band to play with again, the great feeling of being able to have my very own, one I didn't have to beg anyone for, remained. The comfort of being able to buy things one wants, besides one's elementary needs, is easy to grow used to.

Consideration: From a theoretical point of view, the way I see money as a law student is as a symbol of merit within society. This means that the more you work or the more others value your work, the more money you recieve (ideally), and it also means that the only valid way of obtaining money is that of providing a service to the society that it requires and/or desires. Interestingly, the institution of heredity causes this symbolic merit to be the merit of families, not individuals, further substantiating the claim that the family is the foundation stone of a state.

Thank you for your attention - I hope my letter will be of use for your newspaper.

Jenda V.

And in the part for examiners:

Content
Description of how they learnt about the value of money, e.g. pocket money, small jobs.
Importance of money in relation to other things in life.

Range
Language of description, narrative and discussion.

Appropriacy of register and format
Register and format appropriate for a letter to a newspaper. Register must be consistent.

Organisation and cohesion
Early reference to reason for writing. Clear organisation of points. Adequate use of linking and paragraphing.

Target reader
'Family Page' editors/readers would have a clear idea of writer's experience and viewpoint.

Let's see what other people think. Which of the following are acceptable? Which are outright wrong?

Situation one:

Hi GG,

I am going to give my best pick based on how your sample sentences sound and are constructed. I am a bit thrown off by the "whom" and "who" with the contexts.

Of all the nice young ladies we just met, which would be good candidates to join our Tea and Cupcake Society? -Don't think so!
Of all the nice young ladies we just met, who would be good candidates to join our Tea and Cupcake Society? - Acceptable

I am ready for my grades!

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

Would somebody please help me with my English? I'll try, but I don't really understand the medical aspect of the meaning.

Sample of questionnaires: This is one questionnaire, ie a set of questions.

1- Do you detect a fair balance between efficacy and side effects and contraindications?

2- Are there any headlines or sub-headlines which will mislead the reader about efficacy and side effects and contraindications?

3- Are there any headlines or sub-headlines which will not encourage appropriate use of the drug?

4- Are there any claims based on studies in which subjects differed substantially from the population at whom the advertisements are directed?

Best wishes, Clive
