I put a pot on the stove and forgot about it
Oh no! How did the food turn out?
I think I burnt the dish
You should not forget food that is cooking. Maybe next time you can set some alarms so you do not forget about it.
I was busy watching a TV program.
It must have been really interesting to get really absorbed into it! But I believe if you are prone to distractions, how about setting alarms or little notes so you can remember what to do?
