How to use forget in a sentence?

  1. Donald Trump:

    It was a very sad time for our country. I want him to forget politics, I want him to do well. He's got to do well, our country is in trouble… I don't think we've ever had anything like it in this country. When you look at that horrible situation in Afghanistan, the way they got out, getting out was good but the way they got out, we could have gotten that with strength and with dignity and kept Bagram [Air Base].

  2. Van Dyke:

    I sometimes forget that we’re doing a great experiment here — 46 years difference, and we work at it to some extent. There’s got to be some understanding, find out what old habits don’t work anymore. It takes some adjusting and fitting in but that’s part of the fun of it.

  3. Russian Sharapova:

    What do I remember ? Clearly it wasn't that memorable, because let me tell you, none of my doubles is memorable. It's like something we all should forget about. But I do have three titles. They actually mentioned it today in the introductions( on court).

  4. Javier Cazares:

    Being the person in charge, she should've made sure that school was safe, and she failed at her job -- bottom line. It goes to show you how Uvalde works : They will do anything to protect themselves and forget the children, no one wants to be responsible for their actions and inaction, and it makes me sick.

  5. Jordan Spieth:

    I forget how I felt the back nine of Chambers. British is still fresh, engagement is still fresh. I’ll probably at some point end up forgetting (nerves) at the British, but I won’t probably forget the engagement.
