Perder el hilo

Perder el hilo
 
Hola a todos!

¿Alguien tiene idea de como se dice cuando "perdes el hilo" por ejemplo, de una conversación?

Saludos!

Lose your train of thought.

to lose the thread
to lose one's train of thought
to lose track of what one is saying | to lose track of what someone else is saying

I agree,
perder el hilo (de la conversación) = to lose the thread (of the conversation)

And also,
recoger el hilo
de la historia = to pick up the thread of the story

Sometimes in Spanish we don't even need "el hilo"
me distraje un momento y me perdí = my attention wandered for a moment and I lost the thread

Thank you JP and Rusty! :)
