Hi!

You would use the equivalent in Japanese to the present continuous: ～ている. Then, you would ‘ますfy’ the verb ‘いる’, thus: ～ています. In this particular case, this would result in 覚えています.

BTW, I didn’t know that 覚える could be used in this way, I thought it meant ‘to memorise’, ‘to remember’ or ‘to bear in mind’. I would have chosen 勉強する or maybe 学ぶ. Thank you!
