Tell us about French people, for example, I don't know.

Could you ask me to talk about something else? French people are disgustingly ordinary

Mh, let's talk about Jean Reno!
But we're in the wrong thread, honey, we should move.

[Folletta]

I really don't remeMber anything.^^

Thank you so much, Rose.
'Remenber' is a careless mistake
So, I use anything with negative sentences and I use nothing with affermative senteces?

Exactly.^^
I have nothing to do. VS I can't hear anything.

[Folletta]

Ok, perfect.. I need to go through english grammar {il vocabolario mi ha suggerito il 'to go throuht again'}

[Canalfeder]

This topics is very interesting!

Why move? I'm comfortable, here.
Sadly I don't know Mr. Reno; but I know a lot of common people with no ambitions, no notable interests, like us, after all. Girls just want to live in Paris and to sit around barking at other girls' dresses; boys just want to f*** those girls. That's all they ask to their livings.

To review sounds better.

Paris.
I don't know Jean Reno but I like so freaking much his movies, and my favourite one -let's guess- it's Wasabi. He's funny and fascinating at the same time. I do love his voice, oh my God, like Depardieu's one.

Rose, I know it but I don't know if 'to review' was right/correct {ok, non ricordo neanche come si fanno le ipotetiche }

[Lucien]

Rose, I know it but I don't know

This is a quintessential feminine statement.

However, in this case you don't need... you don't know... you don't know...
you don't know anything about me...
what do I know, I know your name...

(Er... sorry, I got distracted )

In this case you don't need to conjugate the verb to the simple past, as you're not formulating an hypothetical phrase: it has an hypothetical value, but in fact it's more like an indirect question. You can go straight with the present, or add a modal verb.

I don't know if it's correct

or

I don't know if it ought to be correct ( )

If you say:

I don't know if it was correct

then you're dealing in the present with a past action, as if we said, in Italian: non so se fosse corretto
