Reasoning about the body moving in the world, sentence 3

Because a moving body keeps moving, when a bus brakes you lurch forward, and if you jump off a swing while it is moving you fly on at its speed and land badly, while the empty seat swings back towards you.

Who acts: moving body, bus, you, body, empty seat · What happens: move, keep, brake, lurch, jump off, fly · To what, where: swing, speed

This is a sentence of the lesson «Reasoning about the body moving in the world» of the everyday course of Mova's primary school.
