What happened here ?👍

The English sentence is: “Our club has ten people.”

You chose:
👉 wǒmen de jùlèbù rén (我们 的 俱乐部 人)
This literally means: “our club people” — but it doesn’t express “has ten people.”

The correct Chinese sentence is:
👉 wǒmen de jùlèbù yǒu shí gè rén (我们的俱乐部有十个人)

我们的 (wǒmen de) = our
俱乐部 (jùlèbù) = club
有 (yǒu) = to have / there is
十个人 (shí gè rén) = ten people


💡 The key word you missed is 有 (yǒu = to have).
In Chinese, to say something “has” people/things, you almost always need 有.

✅ Correct pattern:
X 有 Y = X has Y

我家有五口人 (wǒ jiā yǒu wǔ kǒu rén) → My family has 5 people.

学校有很多老师 (xuéxiào yǒu hěn duō lǎoshī) → The school has many teachers.

👉 Do you want me to give you a mini practice set with “有” sentences (like “My class has 30 students,” “This city has many restaurants”) so you can get used to it?
