Nice one OP
Chai Op!!! Since childhood we have been using "dash me na", to replace it with "hand it on to me", will take time o.

Op, "go to bed" and "sleep", so I should say "I go to bed at 10pm", meanwhile I the sleep on top bench.

These are two different statements. There's a difference when u forgot sth and deliberately left sth. So this is wrong

These are two different statements. So this is wrong
nope, they are not, the former is wrong and the latter is correct as stated there... What makes it wrong is that, you can only forget things that are abstract like the name of a person, an idea and all... But to say you forgot things u can feel is very wrong... I hope you understand now?

Some of the ones marked as wrong are not actually wrong, maybe the usage on the context maybe inappropriate.
