'Remind me to tell you about my favorite movies' 'Remind me to tell you my favorite movies'
Which of the two sentences is grammatically correct? and why?
1 Answer
Both are acceptable grammatically, but I would take a different meaning from them.
If I heard the first, "tell you about my favourite movies" would lead me to expect a detailed description of the speakers favourite movies - the plot, the characters, why they like them etc.
The second, "tell you my favourite movies" would have me expecting a nice, short, "my favourite movies are A, B, and C".
