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
Build usable sentences
Study the pattern, then replace the example information with details from your own situation.
Separable verbs
V-O / V + aspect or quantity + OSome common verbs behave like a verb-object phrase, so aspect, time or quantity can appear between the two parts.
Frequency adverbs
总 / 总是 / 又 / 常常 + VPUse these adverbs before the action or state to describe repetition or frequency.
把 and 被 as participant markers
把 + affected object + VP；被 + agent + VP把 introduces an object that will be affected by the action; 被 introduces the doer in a passive relation. This Lesson uses them to make service-handling steps and responsibility explicit.
Fixed HSK 3 frames
除了…以外…还/也/都…；对…来说；越…越…；在…以后…Use these fixed frames as complete chunks to express addition, perspective, changing degree, time and other common relations.
