The Mughals, the Ming and the empires of Asia, sentence 2
Think of a school where the head teacher changes every few generations: the building stays, but the rules and the language of the office change, and so did the dynasties of China, India and Persia.
Who acts: you, head teacher, building · What happens: think, change, stay, do · To what, where: few generations, dynasties
