• forget后接动名词或动词不定式都表示“忘记”。其区别是：

• He has forgotten to pay me.
• 他忘记付给我钱了。
• He has forgotten paying me.
• 他忘记钱已经付给我了。

forget, leave, lose

• 这组词都有“遗忘”的意思。其区别在于：
• 1.lose指由于着急而一时想不起来。例如:
• He lost his nerve and his memory for names.他不知所措且想不起名字来。
• 2.forget指由于记忆上的忽略而对某人或某物失去了印象,这种“忘记”可能只是暂时的,也可能是长久的,且有“疏忽,忽略”之义。例如:
• Don't forget your duties.别玩忽职守。
• We mustn't forget our origin.我们不能忘本。
