Post by navit »

Are these sentences correct:

1) The thing I forgot I had to do was cleaning the cupboards.


2) The man I didn't know was behind me was Tom.

3) The singer I didn't remember was at the party was Jeff.

Gratefully,
Navi

All possible, but in #1 'clean' would be more idiomatic than 'cleaning'.
