Correct Answer: he had forgot


Solution : The third option is correct.

  • The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
  • Here, he had forgotten should be used instead of he had forgot.
  • We know that after had, we have to use the third form of the verb.
  • Here, the second form is used. So, it is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: He said that he had forgotten to lock the door before leaving.
