After completing the previous three lessons, you have learned how to use "...zài", "děng...zài...", and "xiān...děng...zài..." to express sequence, waiting conditions, and the order of actions in Mandarin.
本篇將透過重點整理與綜合練習,幫助你分辨三種句型的使用時機,並在不同生活情境中選擇最自然、最符合中文習慣的表達方式。

In this lesson, you will review the key differences between these three sentence patterns through practical exercises. By practicing real-life situations, you will learn when to use each pattern naturally and confidently in everyday conversations.
Grammar Summary:
1. Reason + ...再 (zài): Delay an action to a specific time due to a reason.
2. 等 (děng) + Condition + 再 (zài) + V: Require a condition to be met before fulfilling an expectation.
3. 先 (xiān) + V,等 (děng) + Condition,再 (zài) + V: Suggest an alternative sequence. Do something else first. Return to the original action after a condition is met.
