I forgot a file on my desk= I forgot a file that I left on my desk?

shouldn't it be:

I forgot a file from my desk?

thanks

Hi Saneta,

'I left' is understood in this conversation. 'On' would still be the correct preposition. 'From' would be used in this sense: I forgot to take a file from my desk.
