Chinese 101
PCR Lessons 1-3 Grammar Review

In lessons 1-3 we learn a very interesting aspect about Chinese grammar--adjectives act like verbs, so we call them stative verbs or adjectival predicates We can make complete sentences using the "Subject + Adverb + Stative Verb" sentence structure. We also learned to make questions by adding the question particle "ma" to the end of a statement.

Subject:
ni3, wo3, ta1
ni3men, wo3men, ta1men
ge1ge
di4di

Adverb:
ye3, hen3, dou1, bu4

Stative Verb (Adjective):
hao3, mang2

Question Particle:
ma

Below are some samples using the "Subject + Adverb + Stative Verb" pattern. Can you make five more sentence using the vocabulary and sentence pattern outlined above?

Ni3men ye3 hen3 hao3 ma?
Wo3men dou1 bu4 mang2, ni3 ne?
Ta1men ye3 bu4 mang2.
Ni3 ge1ge hao3 ma?
Ta1 ge1ge di4di dou1 hen3 mang2.
