连动句3：前后两个动词性词语具有因果、转折、条件关系
Serial Verb Construction 3: Two verb phrases with causal, adversative, or conditional relations
Explanation
In this type of serial verb construction, the two verb phrases before and after have causal, adversative, or conditional relations. For example: '李老师生病住院了' (Teacher Li was hospitalized) has a causal relationship because 'being sick' is the cause leading to 'hospitalization'. '这本书她借了没看' (She borrowed the book but didn't read it) shows an adversative relationship between the two actions. This structure typically does not use conjunctions; the semantic relationship is conveyed through the sequence and logic of the actions.
