Hello,

'I'll always remember that day.'
Could we use 'forever' and 'all the time' instead of 'always' here as in:
1.'I'll remember that day forever.'
2.'I'll forever remember that day.'
3.'I'll remember that day all the time.'


Thank you very much.

Dear learner1: I think that using 'forever' in place of 'always' is ok. But using 'all the time' is not so ok. Remembering 'all the time' means remembering constantly, without breaks, which is difficult to do. Remembering 'forever' and 'always' means having a memory stored permanently in the mind. Concerning where to put 'forever', I would put it at the end of the sentence, like #1. Ok? -- Eric
