Usages of yǔfǎ
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.
我 喜欢 自己 先 复习 语法， 再 写 汉字 和 生词。Wǒ xǐhuan zìjǐ xiān fùxí yǔfǎ, zài xiě Hànzì hé shēngcí.
I like to first review the grammar by myself, then write characters and new words.
这 个 语法 老师 已经 给 我 解释 了 两 次， 我 觉得 自己 应该 更 注意。zhè gè yǔfǎ lǎoshī yǐjīng gěi wǒ jiěshì le liǎng cì, wǒ juéde zìjǐ yīnggāi gèng zhùyì.
The teacher has already explained this grammar to me twice; I feel I should pay more attention.

“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.
