Use this paired structure to list two main reasons for something, often for decision-making or explanation; it mirrors “first... second...” in English.
"一来是因为那里有蜀兵驻军，二来秦蜀交界的地方是一片悬崖峭壁，没有通道。"
Indicates that once the first part happens (often a short duration or absence), the second part happens immediately; it’s good for telling fast outcomes.
"没有几天，消息就传到蜀国那边。"
Places focus on handling or transforming an object; the object follows 把 and the verb phrase describes the action taken on it.
"把石牛涂上金色，再在它的屁股后面放上一些黄金。"
Introduces the time when another action happens (“when …”); useful for setting scenes or simultaneous actions.
"当蜀侯非常高兴地迎接“金牛”的时候，秦国的大军也跟在“金牛”的后面开进了蜀国。"
Connects a cause to an outcome; this literary structure emphasizes that the result directly follows from the stated reason.
