I translated the sentence beginning with, "do you remember where you put my peacock blue jacket..." as "tu te souviens d'où tu as mis ma veste..." but the accepted answer that used "se souvenir" (instead of "se rappeler") omitted the "de" so it read "tu tu souviens où tu as mis..."
Just wanted to know why we don't use "de" here? According to the lesson on "se souvenir de & se rappeler," the "de" is never omitted after "se souvenir"?
se souvenir de + [noun]
se souvenir + [interrogative pronoun]
Je me souviens de votre visite. -- I remember your visit.
Je me souviens quand je me suis rendormi. -- I remember when I fell back asleep.
There is some ambiguity when se souvenir is followed by an infinitive. According to my understanding, both the following versions are deemed correct:
Je me souviens être tombé malade.
Je me souviens d'être tombé malade.
