Word order
Hi.
Could you please check the word order of the following sentence?
I found it in a movie as a part of dialogue but I'm not sure it can be used in writing as well.
What you did today, we will not forget.
Thank you very much in advance.

I suppose you could. But it would, in my opinion, be better to write "What you did today will not be forgotten."
"We" is understood.
"We" is understood.

Hi.
Thank you John. I could only think "We will not forget what you did today." but your passive one also sounds very fine. I appreciate your example.

"We will not forget what you did today" is also good.
I chose the passive as a means of expressing what I felt was a certain solemnity in your sentence.
