Hi friends, will you repeat the word "is" in this context? What situation should I repeat the auxiliry word when I use the word "and"?

1. She is chinese and is from china.
2. She is chinese and from china.

Answer

I would use the first sentence when I wanted to emphasize both ideas:
"I thought she was Taiwanese, and lived on Okinawa."
"No, she is Chinese and is from China."

I would use the second sentence when I wanted to emphasize a single idea by stating it two different ways:
"Why on earth would anyone ask her to be a Korean translator? She is Chinese and from China."

Answer

Can you explain to me?

Answer

I've thought of this sentence, Vlad but I think it is not right if I say she is Chinese from China since the word Chinese is an adjective not a noun.

Answer

I'd say :"She is chinese from china". "And"  is a bit confusing here, as it looks like you are repeating the same information twice.
