freethinker01:You should have told us "forgot" doesn't exist then. |
Re: Some Common Errors In English. by Nobody: 9:42am On Feb 03, 2018 |
cinoedhunter:The OP is correct and you are wrong. This is because you don't forget tangible things, you leave them behind. In English, you can only say you left a tangible thing even if you feel you forgot it. |

I really enjoy the Classroom interaction better when we maturely avoid abrasive/provocative words. I left Classroom ages ago. I will be happier the more if this type of lesson makes front page. |

Re: Some Common Errors In English. by gr8tone: 10:37am On Feb 03, 2018 |
BigBrother9ja:what makes you think it's correct? Is it because "wake keeping" is commonly used? You may be wrong if you think so. |
Re: Some Common Errors In English. by gr8tone: 10:46am On Feb 03, 2018 |
Highbrow:but I see "left" as a deliberate act while "forget, forgot" are used for things we couldn't recall and which is not deliberate. What do you think? |

Hexilon:my bad, you can't forget something at a particular location, for instance, it's wrong to say I forgot my car keys at home but rather say I forgot my car keys, if u want to b exact, you'd say I left my car keys at home... This is how I should have put it at first. My bad, I hope u get me better now. 1 Like |

freethinker01: According to you, if it is something you can feel then you don't use the word "forgot"! like seriously, ![]() Is the phone not a thought(abstract) first on your mind, If yes, then don't you think(abstract) i should use the word "forgot"? Again, you said one could use the word "forgot" for a person's name(abstract).. Have you forgotten that both the person and the phone are things you can physically feel and they have names(abstract) attached to them. please, can you explain it for better understanding... |

freethinker01: I don't want to buy ur correction. We use forget something and leave something differently. Here are the important differences that English learners need to know: Forget something We use forget something to say that we accidentally left something behind. We don’t say where. I’ve forgotten my phone – I’ll have to go back home for it. He got wet because he forgot his waterproof jacket. Leave something We use leave something when we say where (at home, on the bus, etc.). I left my phone at home this morning and had to go back for it I left my umbrella on the bus. We also use leave something to say that it was intentional, i.e. it wasn’t a mistake: I left those books in the office because they’re too heavy to carry. I’ll bring them home in the car next week. [s]I forgot those books because they’re too heavy[/s]. 1 Like |
