Forgot my or forgot my at

Hi, can you tell me which is correct and why.

"I forgot my homework"

or

"I forgot my homework at home".

I think the second one just sounds kind of strange.....advice?

Hi, can you tell me which is correct and why. "I forgot my homework" This is a common way of saying that you have left your homework somewhere, by accident. It does not explicity tell us where.

Hi,



Not in my opinion, although you could argue about it a bit in strict terms of grammar.
