Combining verbs with "bing"

Revision as of 07:52, 23 November 2020 by WikiSysop (talk | contribs) (Text replacement - "zhǔnbèile" to "zhǔnbèi le")

并 (bìng) or 并且 (bìngqiě), both meaning "moreover," can be used to connect verbs. In this structure the two verbs should be of equal importance.

Structure

[Verb Phrase 1] + 并 / 并且 + [Verb Phrase 2]

Notice that 并且 is used with verbs, unlike 和, which is used with nouns.

Examples

Here are some examples:

  • 爸爸 批评 了 我 并且 告诉 我 以后 不 能 说谎。Bàba pīpíngle wǒ bìngqiě gàosù wǒ yǐhòu bù néng shuōhuǎng.My dad criticized me and and also told me that I cannot lie again.

  • 我们 负责 安装 并且 维护 这个 系统。Wǒmen fùzé ānzhuāng bìngqiě wéihù zhège xìtǒng.We're in charge of installing and also maintaining this system.
  • 你 要 编辑 并且 打印 这 个 文件。Nǐ yào biānjí bìngqiě dǎyìn zhège wénjiàn.You need to edit and also print out this document.

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.
