Grammar Point:
The Chinese words 去 qù and 来 lái are verbs that mean “to go” and “to come.” They are fundamental and commonly used words in the Chinese language, indicating movement from one place to another, such as going to a location, leaving a place, or traveling to a specific destination.
In Chinese, you can also express the concept of “intention” using the characters 去 qù or 来 lái by adding them to a sentence to indicate a planned action or purpose.
