Structure
In Chinese it's very easy to describe two actions in a row. Simply place one verb phrase after another, in this structure:
Subject + Verb Phrase 1 + Verb Phrase 2
No connecting word is needed. A common mistake in the early stages of learning Chinese is to try and link verbs with 和. This is incorrect - 和 can only link nouns. Just place one verb after another.
Some examples:
- 咱们 去 咖啡店 喝 咖啡。
- 我 要 回家 吃饭。
- 他 去 图书馆 看书。
