RULE: (in English) Explain the differences between the two different grammatical uses of "那." Give examples.

那 = that, (nà)

-"that book," "that person", "that picture", etc.

那(么) = In that case; then (nà)
-this is a conjunction used to connect different sentences

TRANSLATE: In that case, let's go see a movie. How that's?

那我们去看电影，怎么样？

RULE: (in English) Explain the concept of a "verb object" and why it's important. Give examples of verb objects.

Many words in Chinese are "verb-object" compounds. For many purposes they are treated as a single word, but in fact the verb and object are different, and they can be separated or detached.

A verb object does not take an additional object. Attributive elements like adjectives or numbers must be inserted between the verb and the object.

Examples:
睡觉 > 睡一个好觉
唱歌 > 唱英文歌
跳舞 > 跳中国舞

**BONUS (PUZZLE): List at least eight "verb object" word we've learned so far in CLQ.

看电视，看电影，看书，睡觉，打球，看球，唱歌，跳舞，听音乐
