- Forego vs. Forgo: The E Is Important | Merriam-Webster
Although forego and forgo have distinct meanings— forego meaning "to go before" and forgo meaning "to do without"—it is not uncommon to find forego in place of forgo Most standard dictionaries find such use acceptable, so feel free to express that you "will forego dessert" or "will forgo it," with the only caveat that you will have to explain why you would do such a thing
