Tôi thức dậy lúc... — Talking about when your day starts
Use thức dậy, dậy and lúc with clock time and parts of the day, while keeping “wake up” separate from “get out of bed” and avoiding an English-style tense formula.
Tôi đi làm / đi học — Work and study as daily activities
Use đi làm and đi học naturally, connect them to place, time and transport, and distinguish the daily activity from occupation or school/workplace identity.
Ăn sáng, ăn trưa, ăn tối — Talking about daily meals
Use ăn sáng, ăn trưa and ăn tối as daily-routine expressions, connect them with time and food, and avoid assuming fixed meal times or one universal Vietnamese meal pattern.
Hôm nay tôi bận — Talking about being busy or free
Use bận and rảnh with hôm nay, sáng nay, chiều nay and tối nay, ask có bận không naturally, and understand that social answers may be softer than a bare yes/no.
Đang làm gì? — Asking what is happening now
Use đang to focus on an activity in progress, ask đang làm gì naturally, and learn when context makes đang optional instead of treating it as a compulsory present-continuous marker.
Làm xong rồi — Saying something is finished
Use xong for finishing an activity and rồi for the reached/completed state, compare làm xong, xong rồi and làm xong rồi, and answer completion questions naturally.
Chưa ăn / chưa đi / chưa làm — “Not yet” in daily life
Use chưa before everyday activities to show that an expected or relevant point has not been reached yet, contrast chưa with không, and answer ...chưa? questions compactly.
Một ngày bình thường — Reading a daily routine in context
Read one fictional ordinary day and integrate waking, work, meals, availability, đang, xong rồi and chưa without presenting the schedule as a universal Vietnamese lifestyle.
