Fixed Pattern 不A不B

Learn Fixed Pattern 不A不B with practical HSK 3 examples, focus vocabulary, common pitfalls, and targeted cloze practice.

Pattern

不 + A + 不 + B

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

他不声不响地走了。

When to use Fixed Pattern 不A不B

Read 不 + A + 不 + B as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 不一会儿 adds to it.

不一会儿,雨就停了。

In a little while, the rain stopped.

不一会儿他就回来了。

In a little while he came back.

电影不一会儿就结束了。

The movie ended in a little while.

Common traps

  • Do not translate 不 + A + 不 + B mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
  • Keep 不一会儿 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.
