How to use it
- Use 好（不）容易 as a fixed expression, without changing the order of characters.
- Placement: Place 好（不）容易 at the beginning of the sentence or in an incision, just before the idea you comment on.
- Context: Use this formula to introduce an opinion, a reaction, or a transition in a conversation.
- Start by memorizing the global meaning, then reuse the formula in complete sentences.
- Memorize the usual variants (好容易 / 不容易) and choose one form per sentence.
- Take a model sentence (In spoken language, often hear the phrase “好容易”), then replace only the context (subject, time, situation).

Notes and exceptions
- 了 — Aspect / change of state: Marks an accomplished event or a change in the situation.
- Note: 了 is not mandatory in all past sentences.
Common mistakes
- Do not break the expression into isolated words: it functions as a block.
- Avoid literal translation and learn the global meaning in context first.
- When a variant is in parentheses, memorize the two possible forms without mixing them.
- Reuse the formula in a complete sentence, not as a single word.
