  <p>The 连 lian... 也 ye construction</p>
  <p>This is one of the constructions used to emphasize a noun, a
  noun clause or a v-o pattern. The</p>
  <p>emphasized element can be the subject or the object of a
  sentence and is placed after 连 lián</p>
  <p>104Elementary Chinese Grammar 基础汉语语法</p>
  <p>2011</p>
  <p>even.</p>
  <p>The adverb 都 dōu or 也 yě is placed before the main verb of the
  sentence. The difference</p>
  <p>between 都 dōu and 也 yě is that 都 dōu can be used in both the
  affirmative and negative,</p>
  <p>while 也 yě is normally used before negatives or before verbs
  which have a negative sense.</p>
  <p>The 连 lián clause refers to the object of the sentence in the
  following examples.</p>
  <p>S.</p>
  <p>他</p>
  <p>tā</p>
  <p>连 O.</p>
  <p>连</p>
  <p>觉</p>
  <p>lián jiào</p>
  <p>都/ 也 V.</p>
  <p>也 忘 了 睡</p>
  <p>yě wàng le shuì</p>
  <p>He has even forgotten to go to sleep. Or</p>
  <p>S.</p>
  <p>他</p>
  <p>tā 连 V-O.</p>
  <p>连</p>
  <p>睡 觉</p>
  <p>lián shuìjiào 都/ 也 V.</p>
  <p>也 忘 了</p>
  <p>yě wàng le</p>
  <p>S.</p>
  <p>我</p>
  <p>wǒ 连</p>
  <p>O.</p>
  <p>连</p>
  <p>他的 名 字</p>
  <p>lián tā de míngzi 都/ 也 V.</p>
  <p>也 忘 了</p>
  <p>yě wàng le</p>
  <p>I’ve even forgotten his name.</p>
  <p>The 连 lián clause refers to the subject of the sentence in the
  following example.</p>
  <p>连 S.</p>
  <p>都/也</p>
  <p>V.</p>
  <p>O.</p>
  <p>连 好学生 也 不去 上</p>
  <p>课.</p>
  <p>lián hăo xuéshēng yě búqù shàngkè</p>
  <p>Even the good students don't go to class.</p>
  <p>Although the sentences above are in the affirmative form, the
  adverb 也 yě is used to imply</p>
  <p>that forgetting to sleep, forgetting someone‟s name, and not
  going to class, are all undesirable</p>
  <p>actions. Of course, the adverb 都 dōu can also be used in the
  above sentences.</p>
  <p>105Elementary Chinese Grammar 基础汉语语法</p>

  <p>When placed after the particle 得 de, the 连 lián construction
  can be used to describe the</p>
  <p>outcome of an action, in a complement of degree construction,
  as follows.</p>
  <p>S</p>
  <p>我 们</p>
  <p>wǒmen</p>
  <p>SV 得</p>
  <p>忙</p>
  <p>得</p>
  <p>máng de</p>
  <p>Outcome of the SV (连...</p>
  <p>也...)</p>
  <p>连 饭 也 忘 了 吃</p>
  <p>lián fàn yě wangle chī</p>
  <p>We are so busy that we’ve even forgotten to eat.</p>
  <p>The phrase 连饭也忘了吃 lián fàn yě wangle chī even forget to eat,
  here placed after the</p>
  <p>particle 得 de, describes the results of the state described
  before 得 de.</p>
