Which option is best for saying "I remembered to put a pen in my bag"


I can think of three ways to say "I remembered to put a pen in my bag"

忘れないでカバンにペンを入れました。

カバンにペンを入れることを忘れなかった。

カバンにペンを入れて忘れなかった。

I think all are technically correct but I'm not sure which is more natural.




Your first and second sentence are the same meaning. 忘れないで～する is a bit
unnatural but 忘れずに～する is natural. And I feel the second one is more literary
than the first.

The meaning of your third sentence are different from the others. This means
"I put a pen in my bag and I didn't forget it."
