This one came about while I was talking to my teacher on Skype. The audio cut out [...]
I learned a few helpful patterns, and thought I would record them in case others were interested (and for my future reference)
The First (第一)
从⋯⋯到⋯⋯ cóng⋯⋯dào⋯⋯
Which means “from… to…”, or maybe even “from… till…”. For example:
