How to study 句 in context

  1. Say jù, gōu, then recall the core meaning: sentence, clause, phrase, paragraph.
  2. Write all 5 strokes while keeping the upper-right enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 句子 (jù zi), meaning “sentence”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 句 works in that context.

Definitions and traditional forms are compiled from Make Me a Hanzi, HSK curriculum data, and CC-CEDICT. Sourced example sentences link to Tatoeba; editorial examples are labeled separately. Review data sources and licenses.
