cinoedhunter:nope, they are not, the former is wrong and the latter is correct as stated there... What makes it wrong is that, you can only forget things that are abstract like the name of a person, an idea and all... But to say you forgot things u can feel is very wrong... I hope you understand now? 41 Likes 5 Shares |
