Hi, welcome back. It is a lovely sunny day today, and we just came back from the mountains: my mom, cousins, my aunts...Why? It is the 100th birthday of my grandma, my father's mother. She is sleeping in her grave but we still celebrated her birthday together. I told her that I wrote a story of her and her husband, my grandpa, in English, and the story is on Facebook, read my a number of my foreign friends.
My grandpa was a roof tile maker, they lived a hard life together because of the constant wars, political movements. Welcome to inMountains Mandarin Course. Let's learn how to say this sentence in Chinese (9_We have no money) . This is Lesson 9, today is 08-02-21, Monday, my name is Julian Luo, recording this lesson in China Changsha.
Step One: Grammar
The first question. Is there ----------
a title (sir/madam/Mr./Dr./Professor...), or phrases like [please/if I may...]?
---------- in the sentence [9_We have no money]? They need to be said first in Chinese. * Note that only when your page is fully loaded, then click the link below, otherwise it won't act. Thank you.
Clause is a [short] sentence, which plays a role in the main sentence. For example, [I met a man who was my friend many years ago.], in this sentence [who was my friend many years ago] is the objective modifier, modifying the object [man].
Are there any words indicating a ----------
Time, conditions, purposes, reasons, locations... (why?)
---------- in [9_We have no money]?(such as: this afternoon/next week/over here/because/if/when...) They also need to be said first.
Time/locations/purposes/reasons/conditions are also normally said first, before the subject. So take a look.
Every sentence has a predicate, which of the following is the correct expression?(what?)
Predicates are typically verbs, sometimes adjectives. In this sentence [I love you.], love is the predicate, another sentence [What time did you leave?], leave is the predicate. [The child is so cute.], cute is the predicate, so is an adverbial modifier, in Chinese, we call it Zhuangyu.
Is there any words that should transform into a compliment in [9_We have no money]? (what?)
Sometimes we want to emphasize something in a sentencee, and we locate them in an unusual position to achieve. Compliments are a type of adverbial modifier, which stays at the end of a sentence, instead of between the subject and predicates.
