我买了苹果和香蕉 is right: 和 joins nouns. 并 joins verbs or clauses ("and also"), so it cannot join 苹果 and 香蕉.
and并 + verb versus and并 + not不
- and并 + verb phrase = "and": to discuss讨论and并to pass through通过.
- and并 + not不 / not / haven't没 = "actually not": he他and并not不know知道. Check whether a negative follows.
he他actually并not不know知道。
In 他并不知道, 并 means “and”.

False. Before a negative, 并 strengthens it and corrects an assumption: 他并不知道 “He actually doesn't know (as you might think).” It does not mean “and” here.
Recap
- VP1 + and并 / moreover并且 + VP2 = and (also), same subject, written style.
- Nouns take and / with和; and并 + not不/not / haven't没 = actually not.

You are writing the minutes of a school meeting. Close the examples. Say a Mandarin response, then write it in Chinese. Explain briefly in English what the lesson’s pattern adds. Compare with the model, then change one detail and try again.
This is supported productive practice. Compare meaning and structure; your answer need not copy the model. A partner or teacher must hear the spoken response to comment on pronunciation.
