并 (bìng) can be used to connect verbs. In this structure the two verbs should be of equal importance.

Structure

The verb phrases in the pattern below are often two-syllable verbs, and usually somewhat formal.

In some cases, the two verb phrases on either side of 并 are of equal stress or importance. When 并 means "moreover," however, it can be replaced with 并且.

[Verb Phrase 1] + 并 + [Verb Phrase 2]

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

Examples

Here are some examples:

  • 我 同意 支持 你 的 决定。Wǒ tóngyì bìng zhīchí nǐ de juédìng.I agree with and support your decision.
  • 要 继续 保持 发扬 优秀 的 民族 传统。Yào jìxù bǎochí bìng fāyáng yōuxiù de mínzú chuántǒng.We will continue to maintain and carry forward our excellent national traditions.

  • 当 他们 克服 了 困难 获得 成功 以后 , 他们 会 觉得 特别 有 成就感 。Dāng tāmen kèfú le kùnnan bìng huòdé chénggōng yǐhòu, tāmen huì juéde tèbié yǒu chéngjiùgǎn.When they overcome the difficulties and succeed, they will feel especially accomplished.
  • 为了 降低 贫富 差距 , 政府 制定 了 新 的 政策 开始 实施 。Wèile jiàngdī pínfù chājù, zhèngfǔ zhìdìng le xīn de zhèngcè bìng kāishǐ shíshī.In order to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, the government formulated new policies and began to implement them.
