The third sentence

  1. Liangliang

    我(wǒ)的(de)作业(zuòyè)要(yào)写(xiě)十(shí)个(gè)句子(jùzi)，我(wǒ)只(zhǐ)写(xiě)了(le)两个(liǎnggè)。

    My homework needs ten sentences and I have only written two.

    今天(jīntiān)晚上(wǎnshang)要(yào)交(jiāo)吗(ma)？

    Is it due tonight?

    Yes. I am so tired I cannot write a single sentence.

    你(nǐ)刚才(gāngcái)说(shuō)的(de)这个(zhège)句子(jùzi)，就(jiù)很(hěn)好(hǎo)啊(a)！

  5. Liangliang

    对(duì)哦(ò)！我(wǒ)累(lèi)得(de)一个(yīgè)句子(jùzi)也(yě)写不出来(xiěbùchūlái)，这(zhè)句(jù)算(suàn)第三个(dìsāngè)！

    Right! I am so tired I cannot write a single sentence, that counts as number three!
