Take a step forward
Usage of 会 (huì)
Meaning: Will / tends to / normally does.
Context: Used for what people typically do at a festival, and for what is expected to happen.
Structure:
Note: this 会 is not the 会 that means “know how to” (as in 我会说中文). Here it reports a habit or an expectation — context tells the two apart.
- • 很多小朋友会穿特别的衣服。
(Lots of children dress up in special outfits. / From Text) - • 万圣节,大家会吃很多糖。
(At Halloween everyone eats a lot of sweets.) - • 明天会下雨。
(It is going to rain tomorrow.)
Usage of 有的…有的… (yǒu de… yǒu de…)
Meaning: Some are like this, some are like that.
Context: Breaks one group into parts and contrasts them.
Structure:
Note: 有的 divides a single group, so every item mentioned belongs to the same set. When the noun is not already clear from context, say 有的人 or 有的衣服 rather than 有的 on its own.
- • 有的可怕、有的搞笑。
(Some are frightening, some are comic. / From Text) - • 有的人喜欢万圣节,有的人不喜欢。
(Some people like Halloween, some do not.) - • 有的衣服很可怕,有的很可爱。
(Some of the outfits are scary, some are sweet.)
Usage of 就 (jiù)
Meaning: Then / right away.
Context: Links two actions and stresses that the second follows directly from the first.
Structure:
Note: 就 stands immediately in front of the second verb, never at the head of the clause. It presents B as the natural, immediate result of A.
- • 孩子们说“不给糖就捣蛋”,大人就会给很多糖。
(The children say “Trick or treat”, and the grown-ups hand over plenty of sweets. / From Text) - • 他一来,我就走。
(The moment he arrives, I leave.) - • 你说,我就告诉他。
(Say the word and I will tell him.)
