连动句1:表示前后动作先后发生

Two consecutive verbs (连动句 1)

Explanation

This structure is used to express two actions happening in succession, where the first action finishes before the second one occurs. The order of the two verbs reflects the actual time sequence. For example: '他开门出去了' (He opened the door and went out), '开门' is the first action and '出去' is the second. '然后' (then) is usually not used because the structure itself already expresses the consecutive nature.

Examples

他开门出去了。
kāiménchūle
我们吃完饭去图书馆吧。
menchīwánfànshūguǎnba
