Actions in a row

Nível: HSK 2 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

Linking actions together in a sentence is very straightforward and to the point. Because of this, there is no new word or phrase needed! In Chinese, it's very easy to describe two actions in a row. Simply place one verb phrase after another, in this structure: Subj. + [Verb Phrase 1] + [Verb Phrase 2] No connecting word is needed. A common mistake in the early stages of learning Chinese is to try and link verbs with 和 (hé). This is incorrect; 和 (hé) is for linking nouns. Just use one verb phrase after another and the sequence of events is clear.
