School words, sentence 6

The words you'll need most when your Chinese runs out are three: tīng bù dǒng (I hear you but don't understand), wǒ bù zhīdào (I don't know) and wǒ wàng le (I forgot) — careful, wàng falls; rising wáng is a king.

Who acts: you, Chinese, words, I, tīng · What happens: need, run out, be, tīng, hear, not understand · To what, where: words, three, zhīdào, you, le, falls
