Last week, I talked about “や / ya” and I said it cannot be used to connect verbs. Today’s expression is the verb version of “や / ya”.

日本（にほん）に行（い）ったとき、すしを食（た）べたり、お茶（ちゃ）を飲（の）んだりしました。

When I went to Japan, I did many things such as eating sushi and drinking green tea.

This pattern is used to list up two or more actions as examples.

Even though, I said …たり、～たり, “～た” part is the past plain form of a verb and you have to give at least 2 examples.
