“I _________ his telephone number.” “I have his number, but I _________ to bring my phone book.” A．forget, forget B．forgot, forgot C．forget, forgot D．forgot, forget

Answer 1

C

第一个人说“我忘记他的电话号码了”，这个“忘记”应该是现在的情况，即现在忘记了，要不然就没有必要同对方说此话了，故第一空应填 forget；第二个人说“我有他的号码，但我忘记带电话本了”，这个“忘记”应该是过去的情况，即过去忘记带电话本，所以现在电话本不在身上(注意句中的转折连词 but)，故第二空应填 forgot，即答案选应C。
