View source for Expressing "moreover" with "bingqie"

{{Grammar Box}} 
并且 (bìngqiě) means "moreover" and can be used to connect verbs. In this structure the two verbs should be of equal importance.

==Structure==

<div class="jiegou">
[Verb Phrase 1] + 并且 / 并 + [Verb Phrase 2]
</div>

Notice that 并且 is most often used with verbs, unlike [[Expressing "and" with "he" (advanced)|和, which is used mostly with nouns]]. The meaning "moreover" means that the second part of the sentence takes the idea in the first part ''even further''. It is rather formal.
当连接两个动词时，并和并且可以互换。比如说下面的例句。

==Examples==

<div class="liju">

* 我 同意 <em>并且</em> 支持 你 的 决定。<span class="pinyin">Wǒ tóngyì <em>bìngqiě</em> zhīchí nǐ de juédìng.</span><span class="trans">I agree with and support your decision.</span>
* 我 会 帮 你 找到 问题 <em>并且</em> 解决 问题。<span class="pinyin">Wǒ huì bāng nǐ zhǎodào wèntí <em>bìngqiě</em> jiějué wèntí.</span><span class="trans">I can help you find the problem and also solve it.</span>
* 你 要 编辑 <em>并且</em> 打印 这 个 文件。<span class="pinyin">Nǐ yào biānjí <em>bìngqiě</em> dǎyìn zhège wénjiàn.</span><span class="trans">You need to edit and also print out this document.</span>
* 控制 饮食 <em>并且</em> 多 运动，会 让 你 的 身材 越来越 好。<span class="pinyin">Kòngzhì yǐnshí <em>bìngqiě</em> duō yùndòng, huì ràng nǐ de shēncái yuè lái yuè hǎo.</span><span class="trans">Controlling your diet and also exercising more will give you a better and better figure.</span>
* 我们 负责 安装 <em>并且</em> 维护 这个 系统。<span class="pinyin">Wǒmen fùzé ānzhuāng <em>bìngqiě</em> wéihù zhège xìtǒng.</span><span class="trans">We're in charge of installing and also maintaining this system.</span>


</div>

Rarely will a bare verb (rather than a verb phrase) appear both before and after 并且. Where this is the case the sentence will normally take the tone of an imperative, instructing someone to do something.

==Structure==

<div class="jiegou">
[Verb Phrase 1] + 并且 + 也、还 + [Verb Phrase 2]
</div>

在这一结构下，“并且”后面有副词“也、还”，不能和"并"互换。

==Examples==

Here are some examples:

<div class="liju">
* 你 要 按照 我 说 的 做 <em>并且</em> 也 要 做 好。<span class="pinyin">Nǐ yào ànzhào wǒ shuō de zuò <em>bìngqiě</em> yě yào zuò hǎo.</span><span class="trans">I need you to do as I say and also do it well.</span>
* 我们 需要 的 是 有 丰富 的 工作 经验 <em>并且</em> 也 懂 得 团队 合作 的 员工。<span class="pinyin">Wǒmen xūyào de shì yǒu fēngfù de gōngzuò jīngyàn <em>bìngqiě</em> yě dǒngde tuánduì hézuò de yuángōng.</span><span class="trans">What we need is an employee with rich work experience and also an understanding of teamwork.</span>
* 我 通知 了 所有 的 人，<em>并且</em> 还 准备 了 所有 的 材料。<span class="pinyin">Wǒ tōngzhī le suǒyǒu de rén, <em>bìngqiě</em> hái zhǔnbèi le suǒyǒu de cáiliào.</span><span class="trans">I informed everyone and also prepared all of the materials.</span>
