Learning Chinese grammar can feel overwhelming, but these essential patterns... Show more
Ever wondered why Chinese sentences sound so different from English? It's all about understanding the basic building blocks that make Chinese tick.
Connecting words with 和 works differently than English "and" - you can only use it to join nouns or pronouns together. So "我和你" (I and you) works perfectly, but don't try using it with verbs or adjectives.
Measure words are absolutely crucial in Chinese, and 个 is your best mate here. Pop it between any number and countable objects like "一个人" (one person) or "三个早上" (three mornings). For family members specifically, use 口 instead - "两口人" means two people in a family context.
Making negatives is straightforward once you know the rules. Add 不 before most verbs like "我不上网" (I don't surf the internet), but always use 没 with 有 - so "我没有狗" (I don't have a dog). When asking "谁" (who) questions, simply place it where the person would be in your answer.
Quick Tip: Practice measure words daily - they're essential for sounding natural in Chinese!
Ready to sound more sophisticated in your Chinese conversations? These grammar patterns will take your language skills to the next level.
Making choices with 还是 lets you ask "or" questions, but remember to repeat the verb in each part: "你学中文还是学法文?" (Are you studying Chinese or French?). This structure shows you're asking someone to choose between specific options.
Past experiences with 过 indicate you've done something before, like "我去过中国" (I have been to China). The key difference from 了 is that 过 talks about indefinite past experiences, whilst 了 describes completed actions at specific times.
The magical 得 transforms how you describe actions by turning adjectives into adverbs. When you say "他写汉字写得很好" (He writes Chinese characters very well), you're focusing on how well the action is performed. This pattern makes your Chinese sound much more natural and detailed.
Expressing ability requires three different words depending on what you mean. Use 可以 for permission or options, 能 for physical possibility, and 会 for learned skills like "爸爸会说中文" (Dad can speak Chinese).
Quick Tip: Don't mix up the three "can" words - each has its specific meaning and context!
These sophisticated grammar patterns will help you express complex ideas and sound more like a native speaker in your Chinese conversations.
The 的, 地, 得 trio might look similar but serve completely different purposes. Use 的 between adjectives and nouns , 地 between adjectives and verbs for describing how actions happen, and 得 after verbs to show results or degrees.
Mastering 就 gives you incredible flexibility with four distinct uses. It can mean "about to" (就要), show completion (早就), make polite requests, or create if-then statements like "如果明天下雨，我就不去了" (If it rains tomorrow, then I won't go). Each usage completely changes the meaning, so context is everything.
Time expressions with 当...的时候 help you describe when things happen, like "在我小的时候" (when I was little). You can swap 当 and 在 interchangeably without changing the meaning.
The comparison structure 越...越 creates "the more...the more" sentences that sound impressively natural: "天越冷，我们穿得越多" (The colder it gets, the more clothes we wear). This pattern shows cause and effect relationships beautifully.
Quick Tip: Start with simple 就 patterns and gradually add the more complex ones - don't try to master all four uses at once!
Understanding how to make comparisons in Chinese will dramatically improve your ability to express opinions and describe differences between things.
Making negative comparisons uses 没有 instead of the basic comparison word 比. When you want to say something is "more" or "even more," add 更 to emphasise the difference, like in "和英国学生比，中国学生更努力" (Compared to British students, Chinese students work even harder).
This comparison structure lets you contrast people, objects, or situations whilst showing clear preferences or differences. The key is remembering that Chinese comparison patterns follow their own logic, quite different from English structures.
Quick Tip: Practice comparisons with everyday situations - comparing food, weather, or school subjects makes these patterns stick in your memory!

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better.
