Is it right to say that "I left my wallet at home" when i forgot to take it with me? What if someone did that on purpose? What verb should he use?

I think specifying an adverb will make it clear to the reader. such as:
intentionally
unintentionally
carelessly
or
on purpose
by mistake

Whether or not you did it intentionally would not (ever) change the tense of the verb you're using.
If you left it at home, then you left it at home, either accidentally or on purpose.
If you're planning it, and it hasn't happened yet, you could say, "I'm going to leave my wallet at home". If you leave your wallet at home every day, you could also say, "I always leave my wallet at home".
The difference is that left is the past-tense usage of the verb to leave.

For forgetting, qualify it.
I accidentally left my wallet at home
or
I left my wallet at home by mistake.

If you intentionally leave it at home continuously then you Could say " I leave my wallet at home." If it was on accident then it would be "I left my wallet at home"

If it's something he does as routine, it would be "I leave it at home" or "I left it at home." If it's something he didn't mean to do on a regular basis, it would be "I left it at home."

It is correct, and the verbiage would not change.
