- Word formation, reference and measuresSuffixes and classifiers remain lexical choices even in advanced writing. 本 identifies the current institution or document, 彼此 is reciprocal, and a measure such as 眼 counts a particular kind of act. Learn the full phrase and its register.4 grammar points
- Precision in degree, timing and stanceHigher-level adverbs distinguish excess from intensity, eventuality from imminence, deliberate effort from personal involvement and fulfilled expectations from reversal. Read the speaker's prior assumption to interpret 反而、果然 or 居然 accurately.7 grammar points

- Spoken stance and resistanceColloquial frames can praise, reproach, dismiss a concern, exploit an opportunity or signal resigned agreement. Supply a plausible conversational context before using them. Dictionary equivalence alone cannot teach whether a sentence will sound friendly.7 grammar points

Directional complements can describe recovery, onset or continuation instead of literal travel.7 grammar points
