Usages of jùzi
这些 生词 不 多， 但是 用 在 句子 里 不 太 容易。zhèxiē shēngcí bù duō, dànshì yòng zài jùzi lǐ bù tài róngyì.
These new words are not many, but using them in sentences is not very easy.
老师 先 说 语法， 然后 让 我们 写 句子。lǎoshī xiān shuō yǔfǎ, ránhòu ràng wǒmen xiě jùzi.
The teacher first explains the grammar, then lets us write sentences.
学校 对 作业 的 标准 是， 每天 至少 写 三 个 句子。xuéxiào duì zuòyè de biāozhǔn shì, měitiān zhìshǎo xiě sān gè jùzi.
The school’s standard for homework is to write at least three sentences every day.
为了 这个 标准， 她 每 晚上 写 的 句子 都 超过 十 个。wèile zhège biāozhǔn, tā měi wǎnshang xiě de jùzi dōu chāoguò shí gè.
For this standard, every night the sentences she writes exceed ten.

“How do tones work in Chinese?”
Mandarin Chinese has four main tones plus a neutral tone. The same syllable can mean completely different things depending on the tone — for example, "mā" (mother), "má" (hemp), "mǎ" (horse), and "mà" (scold). Mastering tones is essential for being understood.
