Give, Tell, Teach: Two Objects, Part 2 of 2

Write a short story about a birthday in your family: what you gave someone, what they did with it, what they asked or told you, and what you now teach or give them.

  • Use a verb with two objects, person first and then the thing (送她一本书, 教她汉字)
  • Report speech with 问 or 告诉 + person
  • Use a hands-on verb such as 打开 or 关上
  • Use 了 for the finished events of the story

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
