Something important/important thing.

I have a question.

Is there different meaning between 'something important' and 'important thing' ?

Could you tell me what is difference in meaning between the following sentences?

1. I forgot something important.

2. I forgot an important thing.

thanks in advance.

Hi Anon There isn't any significant difference in meaning between your two sentences. I would expect sentence 1 to be the more commonly used wording.
