กรณีลืมเอาของมาด้วย ใช้ I forgot เพราะลืมไปแล้ว (อดีต)
If I haven't brought my textbook to class, ใช้ "I forget to bring my textbook." or "I forgot to bring my textbook."
The first one seems illogical because the problem is "I forgot something when I left home" instead of "I forget something at this moment".
-----------------------------------------------------------
กรณีลืมความจำ คือนึกไม่ออก ใช้ I forget หรือ I have forgotten เพราะตอนตอบก็ยังลืมอยู่ ยังนึกไม่ออก
ส่วน I forgot บางคนไม่ใช้เพราะเหมือนกับจะไม่มีวันนึกออก ลืมอย่างถาวร
แต่ถ้าดูหนังเรื่องนั้นนานมาแล้ว (เป็นปีสองปี) น่าจะใช้ I forgot ได้
เช่น
''What was the title of the movie you saw yesterday?''
As the answer of this question, which one is correct?
a. I forget.
b. I forgot.
c. I have forgotten.
I know that a is correct and that it implies the speaker can't remember the title now. But is it possible to answer b or c? If acceptable, are there any difference in meaning?
I forget says to me that I'm unable to bring the title to mind at this moment. Since it was only yesterday that I saw the movie, it's unlikely to be irretrievably lost to my memory. In fact, as soon as you walk away, I'll probably remember. It tends to work that way.
I have forgotten is also fine.
I don't like I forgot for this use because the past tense makes it seem like it will never be recalled. I forgot my briefcase at home - I won't be able to go back in time and "un-forget" it. Unless someone hit me with one of those memory erasing devices like in the movie "Men in Black" as I left the theater, it's unlikely that my forgetting the name of movie is permanent.
That was clear.
But, for example, if you saw the movie some time ago, "I forgot" would be ok, right? Like, "Uh, I forgot. I can't remember the protagonist. I saw that movie two years ago, and I didn't even like it. "
-----------------------------------------------------------
กรณีลืมชื่อ ใช้ I forget คือนึกไม่ออกเหมือนกัน
"I met him in New Delhi, Now I FORGET or FORGOT his name."
Say it like this:
"I met him in New Delhi. Now I forget his name."
or "I met him in New Delhi. Now I have forgotten his name."

อันนี้เป็นตัวอย่างสถานการณ์ที่พ่อลืมไปรับผ้าซักแห้งให้แม่ อ่านแล้วรู้สึกเข้าใจขึ้นค่ะ
I was leaving my office and walking to my car.
I didn’t remember at all about the dry-clean pick up my wife had asked me to do for her the night before. I drove straight home from the office, I had completely forgotten about (it) the pick up. However, I still had no idea yet that I forgot.
As I opened the door, she saw me walking in from the garage without her dry-cleaned clothes, She said “ Honey where is my dry-clean? ”. Then I would slap my forehead and said “Oh dear! I forgot about it”
Please note, not forget! The fact that I came home without the dry clean means the process of “forgetting” had already begun as I was driving past the dry-cleaner.
Another scenario…
As I was driving home, I actually did not remember my wife’s dry-clean and drove past the dry-cleaner. Suddenly, my cellphone rang. It was my wife reminding me “please remember to pick up my dry-cleans, I'll need my dress to work tomorrow”.
I relied “Of course I remember my dear. How can I forget? I have it right here”. As I hanged up, I thought to myself, I almost forgot* the pick up had she not called. I made a U-turn to go back to the cleaner. I picked it up and came home with it, therefore, in her mind, I didn’t forget it.
Forgot* - However, at that moment, I actually had forgotten. So “I almost forgot” is the proper tense.

อาจจะยาวไปหน่อย ฮี่ฮี่ คือดีใจที่ตัวเองเข้าใจซะที (คนพื้นฐานไม่แน่นก็เงี้ยะแหละค่ะ T_T)
แต่ก็ยังไม่แน่ใจว่าถูกต้อง 100% หรือเปล่า เพราะอ่านจากลิงค์ที่พี่อ๋อให้มาอย่างเดียว ขาดตกบกพร่องตรงไหน ก็รบกวนผู้รู้ท่านอื่นช่วยเสริมตามสบายนะคะ ไม่ต้องเกรงใจเผื่อว่าจะเป็นประโยชน์ให้คนอื่นด้วย
