INTRO: New pattern for this part: after verbs of thinking — know, realize, forget, hear — use a "that" clause. Here's the table; then you'll build these sentences yourself.

|---|---|---|
| I forgot | (that) | we had a test today. |
| I think | (that) | this movie is boring. |
| He hopes | (that) | you'll come to his party. |
| Did you remember | (that) | there's a test today? |
| Did he understand | (that) | the movie started at 7? |
| Do you realize | (that) | we're leaving tomorrow? |
**Mental Activity Verbs:**
{forget}, {guess}, {hear}, {realize}, {learn}, {think}, {hope}, {remember}, {see}, {read}, {know}, {understand}
After these verbs indicating mental activity you use a **that** noun clause as a direct object. Notice **that** is optional.
