How to Study This Meaning Group
The English word "page" covers 3 different Chinese characters — 版 (bǎn), 叶 (yè), 页 (yè) — and each is its own word with its own feel. These 3 characters do not share a sound — their readings span bǎn, yè — so confirm the pinyin and tone for each one separately. The example sentences further down show how 版 and the others are actually used, so you learn them in context rather than as a single translation.
