Using 一边...一边... To Do Multiple Things at Once!

Using 一边...一边... To Do Multiple Things at Once!

We use “一边...一边...” to describe doing two things at the same time.  Some really common examples are things like, "I eat while watching TV", or "Don't drive while talking on your phone!".  The structure isn't hard, but it's a bit different from English;  we pretty much say, "on one side I do this, on one side I do that!".  Like this:

Subject + 一边 [verb] 一边 [verb]

zuótiānwǎnshàng,wǒ yīgerén zàijiā yībiān chī wǎnfànyībiān kàn diànshì. ——> Last night,I eat dinner at home while watching TV alone.
昨天晚上,我一个人在家一边吃晚饭一边看电视

wǒ dìdi xǐhuān yībiān tiàowǔyībiān chànggē. ——> My little brother likes dancing while singing.
我弟弟喜欢一边跳舞一边唱歌
