Learn HSK 3 Measure Word Expansion with practical HSK 3 examples, focus vocabulary, common pitfalls, and targeted cloze practice.

Pattern

把 / 张 / 辆 / 段 and more

Use this HSK 3 pattern to make sentence structure, scope, or emphasis explicit instead of relying on word-for-word English order.

我买了一辆自行车。

When to use HSK 3 Measure Word Expansion

Read 把 / 张 / 辆 / 段 and more as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 辆 adds to it.

门口停着两辆车。

Two cars are parked at the door.

他开着一辆新车。

He is driving a new car.

Common traps

  • Do not translate 把 / 张 / 辆 / 段 and more mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 辆 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.
