    Default Are these sentences correct?

    Are these sentences correct?

    1- When/Upon growing old, one usually forgets that he was once a child.

    2- I'll never forget the days I spent in that place.

    If it literally was just a few days, then that's fine. If it's longer than that, then "I'll never forget the time I spent in that place (or there)".
