都 grammar 学习汉语

e.g.

都7岁了，你应该去学校了。（Dōu 7 suìle, nǐ yīnggāi qù xuéxiàole.）

You`re already 7 years old, you should go to school.

都11点了，怎么还不睡觉？（Dōu 11 diǎnle, zěnme hái bù shuìjiào?）

It`s already 11 o`clock, why still not sleep?

都这么多人了，为什么不开始上课？（Dōu zhème duō rénle, wèishéme bù kāishǐ shàngkè?）

There are already so many people, why not start the class now?
