Adding a second idea: ……,还/也……

From the lesson “See you at Daxing Airport!”

Structure

Clause 1,(Subject +) 也 / 还 + Clause 2

并列复句由两个或两个以上逻辑关联、结构对称的小句构成。本册学习并列复句“……,还/也……”。 Join two parallel clauses with 也 (also) or 还 (as well, in addition) at the start of the second verb phrase: 我喜欢这个,也喜欢那个 (I like this one, and that one too). 我喜欢喝中国茶,还喜欢吃中国菜. 也 and 还 go before the verb, never at the very end like English “too”.

    Wǒ xǐhuan zhège, yě xǐhuan nàge.

    I like this one, and I like that one too.
