il a oublié?

il a oublié?

Il devait me rappeler, mais il a oublié !


Should this be "il l'a oublié"? It sounds weird without a direct object for oublier.

Hi Diego,

It is correct to say -

Il a oublié ( de me rappeler) as in English,= He has forgotten ( to call me back )

'Il l'a oublié' would refer to an object like a tablet, a phone, a book ...

e.g.

Son passeport? Il l'a oublié, il est dans son tiroir His passport? he has forgotten it, it is in his drawer

Hope this helps!

In English, one might say "He should have called me back, but he forgot to do it."
