并且 (bìngqiě) can be used to connect two verbs. In this structure the two verbs may be of equal importance (similar to ), but often the word 并且 is part of a longer pattern which adds in a meaning of "moreover," taking the idea expressed in the first part of the sentence even further.

Simple Pattern Similar to 并

Structure

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

Notice that 并且 is most often used with verbs, unlike 和, which is used mostly with nouns. It is rather formal.

For only this 并且 pattern, you can substitute for 并且 and keep the same meaning.

Examples

  • 我 同意 并且 支持 你 的 决定。Wǒ tóngyì bìngqiě zhīchí nǐ de juédìng.I agree with and support your decision.
  • 我 会 帮 你 找到 问题 并且 解决 问题。Wǒ huì bāng nǐ zhǎodào wèntí bìngqiě jiějué wèntí.I can help you find the problem and also solve it.
  • 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.
  • 控制 饮食 并且 多 运动,会 让 你 的 身材 越来越 好。Kòngzhì yǐnshí bìngqiě duō yùndòng, huì ràng nǐ de shēncái yuèláiyuè hǎo.Controlling your diet and also exercising more will give you a better and better figure.

Longer Pattern with 也 / 还

The meaning "moreover" means that the second part of the sentence takes the idea in the first part even further.

Structure

[Verb Phrase 1] + 并且 + 也 / 还 + [Verb Phrase 2]

You cannot substitute for 并且 in this pattern.

Examples

  • 你 要 按照 我 说 的 做 并且 要 做 好。Nǐ yào ànzhào wǒ shuō de zuò bìngqiě yào zuò hǎo.I need you to do as I say and also do it well.
  • 我们 需要 的 是 有 丰富 的 工作 经验 并且 懂 得 团队 合作 的 员工。Wǒmen xūyào de shì yǒu fēngfù de gōngzuò jīngyàn bìngqiě dǒngdé tuánduì hézuò de yuángōng.What we need is an employee with rich work experience and also an understanding of teamwork.
  • 我 通知 了 所有 的 人,并且 准备 了 所有 的 材料。Wǒ tōngzhī le suǒyǒu de rén, bìngqiě hái zhǔnbèi le suǒyǒu de cáiliào.I have informed everyone. Moreover, I have prepared all of the materials.
  • 这种 现象 很 常见 并且 会 持续 很 长 时间。Zhè zhǒng xiànxiàng hěn chángjiàn bìngqiě hái huì chíxù hěn cháng shíjiān.This type of phenomenon is very common. Moreover, it will also continue for a very long period of time.

Longest Pattern with 不但 / 不仅 + 也 / 还

By adding 不但 / 不仅 to the first part of the sentence, this pattern further emphasizes the "moreover" tone of the sentence.

Structure

不但 / 不仅 + [Verb Phrase 1] + 并且 + 也 / 还 + [Verb Phrase 2]

You cannot substitute for 并且 in this pattern.

Examples

  • 爸爸 不仅 批评 了 我, 并且 ,他 告诉 我 以后 不 能 说谎。Bàba bùjǐn pīpíng le wǒ, bìngqiě, tā gàosù wǒ yǐhòu bù néng shuōhuǎng.My dad criticized me and and also told me that I cannot lie again.
  • 我们 不但 负责 安装,并且 维护 这个 系统。Wǒmen bùdàn fùzé ānzhuāng bìngqiě hái wéihù zhège xìtǒng.We're in charge of installing and also maintaining this system.
