When you want to say that some of a group is doing one thing while others are doing another, you can use "有的" (yǒude) to express it.

Structure

All you need to do is put "有的" before the subject of each of the clauses in the sentence. If there is already some context, you can omit the subject, and the "有的" can just mean "some" instead of "some of something".

有的 + (Subject) + Predicate, 有的 + (Subject) + Predicate

Also, you aren't limited to just two "有的"s in the sentence. You can have multiple groups doing different things, and just precede them with a "有的" each time.

Examples

  • 派对的时候,有的人在喝酒,有的人在跳舞,还有的人在聊天。
  • 你看看你包的水饺,有的有的小,有的有的圆。
  • 我碰到过很多客户,有的很容易生气,有的脾气很好,有的很有礼貌,有的比较随便。
