hi and thank you for taking the time to answer this: i am very confused between the difference in ‘Je me souviens’ and ‘Je souviens’??? in English of course we only have ‘I remember’ , that s why i have no idea when to use which!! please help if you can and many thanks 🙏🏽 

In a very recent quiz, the possible people the above statement referred to were a) two males b) a male and female c) two females. I got it wrong as I did not click on option c). As Chris mentioned (below) if there is a trend to gender this noun, should  "professeure/s" be used or mentioned as an alternative?  ( It did appear in Google translate)
