About this lesson

A young doctor waits for a patient who does not come. A boy arrives instead, and the mystery gets a funny answer.

How to practise

  1. Read how the pattern works on the first card, then listen to each example sentence.
  2. Repeat every example out loud in the 跟读 · Your turn pause: the pattern should start to feel automatic.
  3. At the end, check the common mistake and say the practice sentence yourself.
