expressing frequency in chinese

Subject + Length of Time + Verb + Frequency + Object

This tends to play out as:

Subject + LoT + Verb + Number + MW + Object

Subject Verbs Object Number every LoT.

I encounterd [this pattern] in a [tutoring session].

[this pattern]: “https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_%22how_often%22” GrammarWiki: expressing how often [tutoring session]: 2023-09-06-14-16-37.md

From the session:

十分钟发一次微信

shí fēnzhōng fā yīcì wēixìn

Subject is implicitly first person in this case.

Length of time is 15 minutes.

Verb is send.

Number is one.

Measure word is 次.

Object is WeChat.

Putting it all together:

1. (Every) 15 minutes send 1 time a WeChat (message).

Or: I send a WeChat message once every 15 minutes.
