forgot my phone at home❌
I left my phone at home✅


These are two different statements. There's a difference when u forgot sth and deliberately left sth. So this is wrong

You are very correct. You can deliberately leave your phone in the house, car, church etc and can actually forget it in those places as well

The context is the key. You can't say you left your phone at home as an excuse to a query from your boss who demands answer why you couldn't be reached on time.

The person who posted the abive comment is a typical example.
"I left my phone at home" is 100% correct, but an Afonja person will not be comfortable because the act 'forget' isn't included in it.

How do you forget something you can see and touch?
You only forget abstract things Bro

freethinker01:
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?

Thank you very much

gafarolabisi2:

I intentionally left it at home

Happy belated birthday is right bro, forget is also used for things, like, I forgot my keys at home, she delivered a baby boy and she was delivered of a baby boy, both are right. Make your findings before coming here, and be confusing people. check your dictionary. Look for belated, deliver and forget. You will see where examples are given. Abi you know book pass dictionary?

NO YOU ARE WRONG, CHECK YOU FACTS WELL
