Examples of FORGET in a Sentence

1. French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault:

   As is the case with Brexit, the best way of defending Europe, which is rather what Donald Trump has invited us to do, is to remain united, to remain as a bloc, not to forget that the strength of the Europeans lies in their unity.

2. Michael McCaul:

   Now they want us to watch the Olympics and forget their crimes.

3. Katherine Lewis:

   Punishment is something imposed on a less powerful person by a more powerful person. It sets up our children to want power and control, consequences teach us a lesson, and allow children to learn by the situation. What happens when I forget my sweatshirt ? I am a bit chilly. It’s a cleaner lesson, and works much faster.

4. Ron Howard:

   Donald Trump is a remarkable man in terms of being able to sell himself, but let us not forget he was a television star for many years. That resonates with the public. I understand that because I know the business well. He is speaking what a lot of people somewhere in their heart kind of have, he says it in a rough, rough way, like the character in ‘Network’ who said ‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’ Well, the Donald is doing that and it’s pretty effective. But I must really consider, will he be a good president? And that’s, in my mind, where the conversation stops.

5. Harry Potter at 11:

   Regardless of what kind day I was having, I was always lucky because there was always a film to make … Dog died — go make a movie. Failed some exams — go make a movie. Had your first kiss — go celebrate by making a goddamn movie, if you get to work in this job, you are by sheer virtue of statistics one of the luckiest people on earth so none of us who are lucky enough to do this should ever forget that and I promise you that I won’t. I’ll never stop feeling lucky to be here and be a part of this.
