Step 4 · Grammar
Build usable sentences
Study the grammar point, then replace the example information with details from your own situation.
Scope adverbs
净 / 一同 / 大都 + predicateUse these adverbs to indicate a broad or shared scope. Match the register and avoid overgeneralizing when evidence is limited.
Negative adverb 未必
未必 + predicate未必 marks that a conclusion is not necessarily true. It is useful for cautious evaluation and evidence-bounded reasoning.
Concessive contrast with 虽
虽……，但/可/却/也……This formal concessive pattern acknowledges one fact before presenting a contrasting result or judgment.
