Chinese Sentence Structure - Chinese Grammar Simplified 101
Video Overview & Insights
Chinese Grammar Simplified!! Chinese sentence structure is very different from English. A lot of students are confused about how to properly put words together. In this video, we are going to talk about how to build a statement and a question properly in Chinese.
To ask about the verb would the same rules apply? In this specific context, I'm assuming that the object would also have to be unknown? So it would become He at 1 at home (does what)? tā yīdiǎn zàijiā zuò shénme? 他一点在家做什么?
I will go more in-depth into other types of questions such as "yes or no", "A or B", or "how and why" in future videos.

There are 3 sorts of time.
1) linear chronological clock & calendar in Chinese, these time words precede verbs.
2) time length or duration. In Chinese,
this sort of time word follows verbs.
Example- Ni zai zher zhu le liang nian le. ( You lived here for 2 years s.)
3) No. of times of an action.
This sort of time word also follows verb.
Example— Ni zai zher zhu le san ci le.
(You lived here 3 times.)

More User Perspectives
Years later, I stumble across this video while trying to write a sentence and it's so helpful.
@DanielleBaylorIf you would have spelled the Chinese words out this would have been useful. I want to learn to speak it before I learn how to write it.
@SidRandomThe sound so loud than your voice!
@MilesTan-b4vGreat thank you
@vanninquine3636Its all clear now, thank you so much
@JordiPhang2:51 i didnt even realize it was like this till you just explained it. thanks bro
@MarSpeaksYT谢谢🙏！ You explained it better than my teachers
@HananAl-k3vWhat a wonderful explanation 🎉, you are the best
@mustafaalsajafi1301Subject time place verb object. Damn. Its that simple
@lugus9261BUT— how to explain strange word orders like
A) Lai ren! ( Come people!)
B) Lai cha! ( Bring tea)
C) Quao- Shang zhanzhe yige ren
( (On the bridge is standing a person.)
D) li Jia si—le yi—zhi. ji
(Li Family chicken passed away.)?!
It's like you kind of pick this up, but having it so clearly shown is great!
@DSAhmedshort and effective, thanks 🙏🏻🎉
@mariamayoo988Kinda skipped over asking “what they’re doing” playing, watching, etc.
My instinct tells me you just use the same what word you used to replace soccer and you can replace either or both of them?
Also you mentioned a fill in the blank structure. Can you ask multiple questions in a single phrase by replacing multiple pieces with question words? Is this grammatically correct, incorrect? Or just considered bad practice a sit is in English?
I saw many videos in some videos place and time are putting before verb

@ianalen1687真正在地人說中文不會這樣說吧，這樣學中文有點太制式化了，中文不是用特定的文法就可以學的，應該要在當地待久的一點，受到環境影響而學會😮（我是台灣人
@Yikai424You are the channel i completely rely on. You explain so clearly!
@TerryTimbersonThankyouuu!!!!
@pitasrI honestly never learnt Chinese grammar when I was a native. English grammar was so much clearer. Consequently, most teachers and strangers thought my Chinese was not native at all lol

@Tryingtogetfamous_irlhi sorry, i love this video very much, but you said, and i also see a lot of explanation where chinese sentence emphasize the object rather than the subject first, is there an example explaining object first?
