Basis with 作为, 按, and 按照

Learn Basis with 作为, 按, and 按照 with practical HSK 4 examples, focus vocabulary, common pitfalls, and targeted cloze practice.

Pattern

basis preposition + standard

Use this HSK 4 pattern to make sentence structure, scope, or emphasis explicit instead of relying on word-for-word English order.

我们按照计划出发。

When to use Basis with 作为, 按, and 按照

Read basis preposition + standard as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 按照 adds to it.

请按照老师的要求做。

Please do it according to the teacher's request.

我们按照地图走。

We walk according to the map.

Common traps

  • Do not translate basis preposition + standard mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 按照 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
  • Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.

Targeted drill

Practice this exact pattern before moving on.
