Hello there!
It’s quite common for one to forget, I mean there is a ton to cover, so that’s expected. To deal with this, you can constantly remind yourself of whatever concept you’ve forgotten. We have a lot of resources scattered online to help with that.
Making projects on your own might be challenging, especially when you’re new to software development, but there is usually no way around it, you just have to make them. What I always advise is, to look up stuff when you’re stuck, look up what you do not know, what you’re unsure of… just look up stuff. Above all, ask for help, from friends, communities, and fellow campers. Always asks for help.

That’s totally normal, you aren’t going to remember everything.
You should code in something like VSCode which might load some boilerplate when starting a new HTML file for example. It’s easier to add to a file when there’s some structure already in place.

I suggest start using “Flash Cards” technique to remember things efficiently.
Also checkout “Pomodoro Technique” for better study.
Don’t worry about syntax getting forgotten initially, the more your code daily; you will gradually remember it.

You don’t need to worry about memorization. Focus on understanding and using the code.
