To express that one thing is done whilst doing something else, the word 一边 (yībiān) is used. The structure is:

Subject + 一边 + Verb, + 一边 + Verb

Note that you sometimes see 一边 shortened to 边 as well, which has a less formal feel.

Some examples:

  • 一边 看 电视,一边 吃 东西。
  • 他们 一边 唱歌, 一边 跳舞,真 热闹!
  • 你 会 一边 拍头 一边 揉 肚子 吗?
  • 咱们 聊 吧。
