HSK 5 Connectors & compound sentences

凡是 … 都 …

Everything / anyone that… (凡是…都…)

Structure 凡是 + the whole group,都 + the same for all

凡是…都… (fánshì… dōu…) covers a whole group with NO exception: "everything that… / everyone who…". 凡是他说的,我都相信 = "everything he says, I believe". 凡是 opens the full group and 都 confirms the rule holds for each one. It’s somewhat formal; in speech 都 alone often suffices.

Examples

  • fánshìshuōdedōuxiāngxìn

    Everything he says, I believe.

  • fánshìláiguòderéndōushuōhǎo

    Everyone who has been here says it’s good.

  • fánshìzhòngyàodeshìdōuyàoxiěxiàlái

    Anything important should be written down.

Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
