再说

Structure:

Clause 1 , 再说 + Clause 2

Meaning:

Just add 再说 to the beginning of the second clause of your sentence. Remember that both statements should be related to each other!

When expressing “Then…”, you can use “那么” (nàme) in order to begin a judgment or result from previous context. An example of this in English would be “Then, what should we do?”

Example:

1. 我还不想结婚,因为年纪太小了。再说 ,也没有遇到合适的人。
Wǒháibùxiǎnɡjiéhūn, yīnwèiniánjìtàixiǎole. Zàishuō, yěméiyǒuyùdàohéshìderén.
