Resposta rápida
How smart people say "I forgot what I was saying"
The quickest way is to ask "Where was I?" and then keep talking. In a meeting or presentation, "Sorry, I lost my train of thought" sounds polite and calm. If you forgot everything at once, for example in an interview, say "My mind went blank."

Entenda cada frase
-
Where was I? Tom: Casual and quick
Use it when you stop in the middle of a story or explanation and want to continue. Say it, then pick up again. It works with friends and coworkers, but don't use it as your only reply in a very formal speech.
“Where was I?”
-
I lost my train of thought. Tom: Polite, good at work
Use it in meetings, presentations, and calls when you forget the next part of your point. It sounds calm and professional. Add "Sorry" before it if you interrupted the flow for other people.
“Sorry. I lost my train of thought.”
-
My mind went blank. Tom: Honest, a bit serious
Use it when you suddenly had no ideas at all, often because of stress, like in an exam, an interview, or on stage. Blank means empty. It is stronger than forgetting one small point.
“Suddenly, my mind went blank.”
-
What was I saying? Tom: Friendly and relaxed
Use it in conversation when someone or something interrupted you. It asks the other person to remind you. It is fine with friends and coworkers, but in a formal presentation "I lost my train of thought" sounds more prepared.
-
Where were we? Tom: Warm, shared
Use it when a whole conversation or meeting stopped, not just your sentence. The word "we" makes it a shared moment. Don't use it if only you were speaking and others were not part of the topic.
-
Sorry, I got sidetracked. Tom: Light, a little apologetic
Use it when you started talking about something else and forgot your main point. It admits that you went off topic. It is less useful when you simply forgot and did not change topic.
Erros comuns
-
Não fica bem assim
I lost my thought train.Uma forma melhor I lost my train of thought.
This is a fixed expression. Keep the words in this order: train of thought. Changing the order makes it sound strange to native speakers.
-
Não fica bem assim
Where I was?Uma forma melhor Where was I?
In a question, the verb comes before the subject. Say "Where was I?", not "Where I was?". The second form is only correct inside a longer sentence, like "I forgot where I was."
-
Não fica bem assim
My mind went empty.Uma forma melhor My mind went blank.
Blank means empty, but English uses the fixed phrase "went blank" for this feeling. "Went empty" is understandable but sounds unnatural.
