key in the bike

[Untaught88]

Hi,
Sometimes. One forgets to take out the key from the bike key hole.
Is ''He left the key in the motor bike'' correct?

 

[MikeNewYork]

Yes.

Or
He forgot to remove the key from his bike after his ride.
Your sentence could mean he left the key intentionally.

What about, ''He forgot the key in the bike''?

 

[Untaught88]

Can I also use ''unwind''?

This is acceptable in AE, but most BE speakers do not use this form.

I cannot imagine what 'unwind' has got to do with this thread.

No, it's not acceptable in AusE.

So AusE is a variant of BrE? :lol:

Aren't they all? Ahem, I'll get my coat.

I meant it's not acceptable in all the AEs.
It may be in AnguillanE, AntiguanE, AmericanE, but it's not in AusE.
It also may be acceptable in some BEs - ie. that of Bermuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Britain, Botswana, etc.
