Although perhaps more often used in the negative to mean "never," 从来 (cónglái) can be used with 都 (dōu) to mean "always" or "have always (done)." in Chinese grammar.

In English, "or" can used used in the sense of having a choice （Chicken or beef?), and as an "either or" statement (it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white). In Chinese, "或者"(huòzhě) is used for the latter.

Sometimes you want to say that a group of people have something in common with something else. If this is the case you’ll want to use 也 (yě) and 都 (dōu) at the same time. Put "也" first!

Whenever you need to list of nouns, whether two of them or more, 和(hé) is there to help you out!

Using 跟(gēn) to express "with" is so simple, it will always be with you in Chinese grammar!

We have a few ways to say "always" in Chinese, and one of them is to use the word 老是 (lǎoshi) in Chinese grammar.
