Step 3. Study more grammar

 

a. Chinese prepositions: cóng, gěi, zài

 

Chinese prepositions are derived from verbs.

cóng + place: word from somewhere

zài + place word: in, at, on somewhere

gěi + somebody: for, to somebody

 

The prepositional phrases are often placed before the verbs

 

古波 宿舍 漢字        * 古波 漢字 宿舍

丁雲 那兒            * 丁雲 那兒 * 丁雲      

朋友 朋友 (to give him as a gift)

哪兒 京劇            * 京劇 哪兒

 

Exercise 4, page 148.

 

b. How to ask a question: the position of question words

Question words: who , what 什麼, which +MW 件本個, where 哪兒

Unlike English, the Chinese question word is not fronted to the beginning of a sentence.
