6/17 Are you forgetful?

I get forgetful from time to time.

ex> People tend to get more forgetful as they get older.

I tend to misplace my belongings quite often.

ex> She tends to misplace her belongings very easily.

I don’t remember where I put my keys or wallet. The remote control gets lost all the time as well. I end up turning the living room upside down trying to find where it is.

* turn something upside down: 발칵 뒤집어 놓다

ex> The policemen turned the area upside down to find the suspect.

I once found it in the fridge. I also leave things behind quite often.

* leave something behind: ~을 두고 오다

ex> I often leave my glasses behind at the office.

I've left my umbrella behind so many times. I also leave my cell phone behind in the car. I have to go all the way back to the parking lot to get it. Plus, there are times when I forget things that I have to do. I forget that I had to meet someone. I always try to write things down to be less absent-minded.

* be absent-minded: 건망증이 있다

ex> I’m afraid I’m getting more absent-minded.
