This article is very short; I finished reading it in a little while.

I put the earphones on the table, but now I can’t find them.

我wǒ　出门chūmén　前qián　忘wàng　了le　关guān　灯dēng。wǒ chūmén qián wàng le guān dēng.

I forgot to turn off the light before going out.

My alarm clock went off at six-thirty in the morning, but I didn’t wake up until seven.

她tā　出门chūmén　前qián　在zài　镜子jìngzi　旁边pángbiān　找zhǎo　了le　很hěn　久jiǔ，　才cái　找到zhǎodào　钥匙yàoshi。tā chūmén qián zài jìngzi pángbiān zhǎo le hěn jiǔ, cái zhǎodào yàoshi.

Before going out, she searched for a long time by the mirror before finding her keys.

She forgot to bring her keys, so she had no choice but to wait at the door for her roommate to open it.

If it weren’t for her checking again before going out whether the door was locked, I’d probably still be worried now.
