It is an effective method to master some basic but important language points in the process of reading. In the sentence我从未一个人住过，不过上大学后我要试试独立生活了, the important grammar point you need to know is 从未, which carries the meaning of never. Therefore, if the students see this word in sentences when they study in Mandarin language courses in China, they will realize that the sentence will tell you the information that something has never happened before. For instance, 他进公司已经十几年了，但从未升职.

Another important word you may often meet when you read Chinese books might be 依旧 . With the same meaning with still in English, 依旧 is often applied to express something is still the same as the past even though a long time has passed. For the sentence, 十几年过去了，我的生活没有什么变化，依旧是老样子, it implies that the life has not been changed even decades of years have passed. You can also say好多人离开了村子，但他依旧待在农村.

When you attend to Chinese school in Kunming to study Chinese, teachers would demand you to complete sentence 我平时没时间运动， with the given structure 每+ verb. To complete the sentence with full meaning, you can add like 我每隔一个月去一次. Accordingly, you can make sentence like 医生让母亲每天给孩子喂六次药，就是说，每隔三个小时吃一次.

To indicate the reason of certain thing, we can use both the word因为and the structure 因A而B. 因为means because while part A in the latter structure is reason and part B is the result. For the first pattern , you can say 他被银行起诉了因为他透支. If you use the second structure, you should say 他因为透支而被银行起诉了.
