Welcome to the November monthly challenge! This month we’re focusing on speaking/writing in Mandarin everyday. Each day I will ask you a question (spoken + written), you need to use my tips to produce an answer to the question (spoken / written). When you’ve prepared your answer, submit it below + I will give you feedback go work on (e.g. grammar, tones, word choice etc.) ❓Question for today: 你有宠物吗？如果有，你有什么宠物？(Do you have pets? If you have, what pets do you have?) ⭐️ Tips: Change ‘you’ to ‘I’, then pick ‘have or don’t have’. You can also say ‘I have + (pet word)’. If you want to add how many pets you have, you will need to add a measure word. E.g. 我有一只狗。= I have 1 (measure word) dog. 💪 Extra challenge: Say what your pet is called or how old they are! What does your pet like to do? (Run/swim/sleep etc.) 🧠 Remember - use Pleco / YellowBridge.com to search for words you don’t know but would like to use! 有 (have) is one of our 7 power verbs!
