Grammar
Not to or do not
I am wondering if it is correct to say:
I try not to forget what I wanted to say.
or
I try do not forget what I wanted to say?
Or both of these sentences are wrong?
I try not to forget what I wanted to say.
or
I try do not forget what I wanted to say?
Or both of these sentences are wrong?
