Lesson 7
Common verbs
Talk about what you do every day — go places, see, hear, study, work, sleep.
📚 New vocabulary · 18
💡 Grammar note
Verbs in Chinese never conjugate. 我 看, 你 看, 他 看 — same form everywhere. To say 'I am watching TV' add 在 before the verb: 我 在 看 电视. Past actions can be marked with 了 after the verb: 我 看 了.
🏋️ Quick practice
10 mixed questions: pinyin → meaning, character → meaning, listening, English → character, and fill-in sentences.
🏋️ More practice
Open the full exercises page scoped to just this lesson's vocabulary — all three vocab-based modes (pinyin → meaning, listen → recognise, match) using only the 18 words you just learned.
🎓 Full lecture practice
The full workout, broken into stages. We split this lesson's vocabulary into small sub-groups and run a short drill for each — easier to absorb than 20 mixed questions in a row. Then the final stage mixes every type: pinyin → meaning, character → meaning, listening, English → character, fill the blank, English → 中 builder, word order, and tone identification. Includes a 🎤 pronunciation challenge when your mic + Whisper are available.
