the quick and dirty way to remember is - seeds on the inside = fruit.
it gets complicated quickly because strawberries aren't berries (they're an accessory fruit but their seeds are on the outside) while bananas, tomatoes, aubergine (eggplant), cucumbers and Kiwis are all berries.
Another accessory fruit (which are also known as "false fruit") is the pineapple. Apples and pears also fall into this category :D
