Mariethe is entirely correct. If you must use "you", you can say "It was a nice idea for you to remember your old friend", but "It was nice of you..." is the best way to say it. Bruce |

It �s sometimes said this way:
That was a nice idea of yours to remember your old friend.
That�s a good idea of yours to go on a picnic. |

I agree with yanogator. Also, in a natural speaking situation, I would likely say, "That was so nice of you to remember your old friend." English is so regional! I hope this helps. |
