She asks me to pay more attention to these mistakes and carefully explains them to me every time.

The teacher has already explained this grammar to me twice; I feel I should pay more attention.

In class the teacher explained the cause of the problem and also clearly stated the possible result.

“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.
