Why is there 给 in '什么给忘了'? I think I understand what it's doing, but I can't really rationalize it.

This is a rather strange one at first and it's used in very specific situations. No need to study the grammar, just do a search through your flashcards for more example sentences containing it and try to absorb the usage that way.

Hi Luke & Phil, in lesson 26, 数 in Context, the last part of the sentence,看有没有什么给忘了; could it be written as看有没有什么忘了 ?
Thanks!

Close: 看有没有忘了什么 or 看有没有把什么给忘了 would be ok

我数了数有几只狗
Is this 数了数 used to achieve a change in tone or expression?
Mandarin Blueprint
Yes, that's right. It serves a similar purpose to "一下"!
