In today's lesson, Teacher Jessica introduces an important Mandarin Chinese sentence structure "既 (Jì)...又 (Yòu)".

"既 (jì)" can be used in conjunction with either "又 (yòu)" or "也 (yě)" to express that something is "both A and B"

A and B can be adjectives, verbs or short phrases. Most of the time A and B will take the same form i.e. if A is an adjective B will also be an adjective.

The structure is: 

既 + verb ，也 + verb

Tā jìshì wǒ māmā, yěshì wǒ péngyǒu.
她 既 是 我 妈妈 ，也 是 我 朋友.
She is both my mother and my friend.
