解説 Definition
remembering は remember（覚えている、思い出す）の現在分詞・動名詞です。「思い出している」「覚えていること」という進行中の動作や行為を表します。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
remember に -ing をそのまま付けた現在分詞・動名詞で、語末に黙字 e はないため文字を落としません。発音は原形の第2音節の強勢を保ち、末尾に /ɪŋ/ を加えます。be remembering なら「思い出している」、Remembering old stories のように文頭なら「思い出すこと」と捉えましょう。
Remembering is formed by adding -ing directly to remember; no final letter is dropped or doubled. Its main stress remains on the second syllable of remember, and /ɪŋ/ is added at the end. Link the form with a memory becoming active in the mind. In She is remembering his name, it presents the process of recalling something now. In Remembering old stories makes him smile, it functions as a gerund naming the activity. Keep recall in mind as a close synonym, while reminding usually means causing another person—or yourself—to remember.
例文

私は学校に初めて行った日のことを思い出しています。
She is remembering his name now.
彼女は今、彼の名前を思い出しています。
Remembering old stories makes him smile.
昔の話を思い出すと、彼は笑顔になります。

remembering の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 remembrer を経てラテン語 rememorārī（再び心に留める）に由来。re-（再び）+ memor（記憶する）の構成。関連語：memory（記憶）、memorial（記念の）。「もう一度心の中に呼び戻す」が原義で、まさに「思い出す」行為そのもの。
Remembering is the -ing form of remember. Remember entered English through Old French remembrer and is related to Latin rememorari, meaning “to recall” or “be mindful again.” The Latin formation contains re-, associated with again or back, and memor, “mindful” or “remembering.” Related English words such as memory and memorial preserve the same memory element. The modern form simply adds -ing to the verb remember.
