remind

You remind me of your father.   The story reminds me of my past/the days when they were in the army
We warned him of the danger  The morning paper warned us of serious delays at the airport.
He told me of his trouble
He informed me of his safe arrivel at USA./her mother’s death
 

they couldn’t persuade him of their sincerity/his honesty
It took a long time to convince me of his guilt/her error
The policeman accused him of murder/having broken their word/cheating in the examination/being late/stealing in the supermarket.

It's not easy to break him of his old habit/smoking
You should rid yourself of that bad habit.  the pain/these debts/crime
This medicine cured me of his headache/bad habits/my cold  Parents try to cure their children of bad habits.
The judge cleared the prisoner of any crime/of all charges/my suspicion/the remains of the snow

The war robbed him of his wife and children/her gold watch/all their possessions/money/my sleep
The man cheated the old lady of all her money.
