| Re: Proper use of I forget? Welcome, mbeth.  forgot refers to a thing (i.e., past information), whereas forget refers to time (i.e., at the moment): Max: What's the homework assignment? Sam: I forget (at the moment). Pat: I forgot (what the teacher said). Pat: I forget your name. <It's on the tip of my tongue> Pat: I forgot your name. <I used to know it> |
