When to use Serial Verb Sentences

Chinese often strings verbs in the order they happen or in purpose order. The first action sets up the second.

Come see me tomorrow.

她去商店买东西。

She goes to the shop to buy things.

我们坐车去机场。

We take a car to go to the airport.

他回家吃饭。

Common traps

  • Do not add 和 between action verbs.
  • Keep the actions in real or purpose order.
  • Use punctuation or connectors if the sentence gets too long.
