About this lesson
A young doctor waits for a patient who does not come. A boy arrives instead, and the mystery gets a funny answer.

- Read how the pattern works on the first card, then listen to each example sentence.
- Repeat every example out loud in the 跟读 · Your turn pause: the pattern should start to feel automatic.
- At the end, check the common mistake and say the practice sentence yourself.
