Vocabulary in context
These short sentences and mini-scenes make the lesson's additional words usable instead of leaving them as isolated cards.
Step 4 · Sentence patterns

Also with 也
subject + 也 + predicateUse 也 before the predicate to add similar information.
Actions in progress
在 / 正在 + verbUse 在 or 正在 before a verb for an action in progress.
Separable verbs

……在/正在+动词；……在/正在+动词……+呢；……呢The progressive uses 在 or 正在 before the verb, sometimes with 呢 at the end.
