Ayer fui a la piscina y ...

Could you explain the answer to this question a bit more?

Ayer fui a la piscina y ________ la toalla? Specifically why "se me olvidé" is wrong.

This question relates to:Spanish lesson "How to use olvidar/olvidarse for "to forget" in Spanish (pronominal verbs/accidental se)"

Hola Matt

For that answer to be correct it would need the verb conjugated as "olvidó", not olvidé.

When we use the accidental se form: "se me olvidó la toalla" or "se me olvidaron las llaves", for example, the verb agrees with "what is forgotten", not with the person who forgets.

I hope it clarified it.
