Hi,

Excuses me, there's something wrong with the typing "silmply". Isn't there?
It makes me hesitate when making a right choice because I focus more on the wrong "silmply" than the verb "forget".

Anyway, thanks a lot.

yes it is spelled wrong to confuse you. Just say it outloud, it doesnt make any sense. But you have misspelled that work 5 times hah, the correct way is, Simply.

Jane: 'I'd simply forget it.

Of course it's a typo which we'll fix soon.

Hi Torsten,

Look, I often hear other people say "I forget", and I'm a little confused-isn't it should be said in past tense? (I forgot)
Thanks!

Sevich, Depends upon the context of the sentence.

" I forget things so easily nowadays."

" I've forgotten my door-keys."

" He forgot it was my birthday."

Context determines which to use.

Kitos.

Why use forget instead of forgot? It's so confusing?

[Beeesneees]

He forgot it was my birthday - notice 'was' -- past tense, therefore 'to forget' needs to be in the past tense too!

I forget - present tense.
I forgot - past tense.

can you please tell me what is the meaning of this test?
it does not make sense to me :(

[Xxxmoxxx]

When should we use this expression " I'd simply forecast it" ?

Thanks in Advance.

[Beeesneees]

It means you would predict it. You're unlikely to ever need to use that expression.
