You have to understand the basic Chinese grammars to become fluent in Chinese. If you are a beginner Chinese learner, I would recommend starting with something short and simple, like this!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Basic Sentence Structure<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Just like English, the basic form of Chinese sentence structure is Subject + Verb + Object<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Subject<\/strong><\/td>\nVerb<\/strong><\/td>\nObject<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u6211<\/td>\n\u662f<\/td>\n\u5b78\u751f\u3002<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u6211<\/td>\n\u662f<\/td>\n\u5b66\u751f\u3002<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
W\u01d2<\/td>\nsh\u00ec<\/td>\nxu\u00e9 sh\u0113ng\u3002<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I<\/td>\nam<\/td>\na student.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

2. No Verb \u2018To Be\u2019. All You Need is<\/strong>\u300c\u662f\u300d<\/strong>!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Unlike English, there is no verb \u2018to be\u2019<\/strong> rules in Chinese. All personal pronouns, from \u2018I\u2019 to \u2018it\u2019, use \u662f (sh\u00ec) as the linking verb (Yes, \u662f does not change form at all). Apart from being regarded as the verb \u2018to be\u2019 in Chinese, you will often find the word \u662f in other contexts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong>\u300c\u4e0d\u300d<\/strong>for the Opposite!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u4e0d (b\u00f9), which means \u2018no\u2019 or \u2018not\u2019, is used to negate a verb. A kind reminder: \u4e0d does not apply for all cases, there is another negative particle, \u6c92 (m\u00e9i). \u4e0d is placed before the verb, adjective, or preposition in a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n4.\u00a0<\/strong>\u300c\u4e5f\u300dfor\u00a0<\/strong>Also\/As Well\/Too<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Also\/as well\/too is expressed in Chinese as \u4e5f (y\u011b). As an adverb. \u4e5f is written after the subject and before the verb. If there is a negative determiner, \u4e5f is placed before the negative determiner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n5. Asking Questions Using<\/strong>\u300c\u55ce\u300d<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Finally, you can use the question word \u55ce (ma) to ask almost any yes-no questions! You can convert your statement into a question, simply by placing it at the end of the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
