The closed gym

    You said you went to the gym last night?

  2. Liangliang

    是(shì)啊(a)，我(wǒ)一直(yīzhí)在(zài)跑步(pǎobù)。

    Yes, I was running the whole time.

  3. Dengdeng

    可是(kěshì)健身房(jiànshēnfáng)昨天(zuótiān)关门(guānmén)了(le)，我(wǒ)看见(kànjiàn)门口(ménkǒu)的(de)牌子(páizi)了(le)。

    But the gym was closed yesterday. I saw the sign at the entrance.
