Example sentence
- Lao Wang will come here later. I have called him.
- I can’t speak, let alone talking on the phone. So I clap my hands instead, and they get it. If it were other people, they’d be weirded out by the claps when they pick up the phone. That is why I only call them two. Only they know clapping means I’m inviting them over. This is only works for the three of us. It’s our secret signal.
- It's good to have him. I cannot handle the store by myself. Since I can take turns with him, I have more time to take a break and therefore have more energy. I pay him and he is really good.
- My mom? who? my wife? Oh, she went to a hair salon, getting her hair washed. She will be back later.
- Before I go out, my apprentice will receive a thorough briefing regarding things in our shoe shop. He will take care of the shoe shop. We usually take turns and help each other.
