forget to do忘記要去做某事，forget doing忘記做過(guò)某事。例如：

The light in the office is stil on. He forgot to turn it off. 辦公室的燈還在亮著，他忘記關(guān)了。（沒(méi)有做關(guān)燈的動(dòng)作）

He forgot turning the light off. 他忘記他已經(jīng)關(guān)了燈了。（已做過(guò)關(guān)燈的動(dòng)作）

典型例題

---- The light in the office is still on.

---- Oh，I forgot___.

A. turning it off B. turn it off C. to turn it off D. having turned it off

答案：C.由the light is still on 可知燈亮著，即關(guān)燈的動(dòng)作沒(méi)有發(fā)生，因此用forget to do sth.而forget doing sth表示燈已經(jīng)關(guān)上了，而忘記了這一事實(shí)。此處不符合題意。
