Key Learning Points:
播种 (bōzhòng) v. to grow /to plant

The Chinese character “种” has two basic pronunciations: zhǒng and zhòng. “种” is usually used as a noun when pronounced “zhǒng.” For example: 种子 (zhǒngzi) seed. When “种” is pronounced “zhòng,” it is normally used as a verb. For example: 种地 (zhòngdì) to farm.

Example:
Nóngfū men yǒu shí zài chūntiān bōzhòng, yǒu shí zài qiūtiān bōzhòng.
农夫 们         有 时    在   春天       播种,     有 时    在   秋天     播种。
Sometimes farmers plant in the spring, and sometimes in the fall.
