Grammar 语法
Sequence: 先…然后…
，。
先 (xiān) = first, 然后 (ránhòu) = then/after that. Use this structure to describe actions in order. 然后 is an HSK 2 preview word but very useful here.
Frequency: 每天 + verb
。
每天 (měitiān) = every day. Place time expressions BEFORE the verb. 每天早上 = every morning. Pattern: Subject + 每天 + time + verb.
Time + verb word order
。
Chinese time expressions come before the verb (opposite to English). 早上 (morning) → 八点 (8 o'clock) → 上课 (attend class). Always big-to-small: day → time → verb.
