How to study 逐 in context

  1. Say zhú, then recall the core meaning: to pursue.
  2. Write all 10 strokes while keeping the lower-left enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 逐步 (zhú bù), meaning “progressively”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 逐 works in that context.
