Consult the official syllabus for the full inventory. Pattern 1Basic Word Order: Subject + Verb + ObjectChinese commonly follows subject–verb–object order. Time and place phrases normally appear before the main verb.Subject + Verb + Object我喝茶。Wǒ hē chá.I drink tea.她看电影。Tā kàn diànyǐng.She watches movies.我们学习中文。Wǒmen xuéxí Zhōngwén.We study Chinese.他买水果。Tā mǎi shuǐguǒ.He buys fruit.Pattern 2Identifying with 是 (shì)Use 是 to identify or classify a person or thing with a noun phrase. Do not normally place 是 directly before a simple adjective.A + 是 + B我是学生。Wǒ shì xuéshēng.I am a student.她是老师。Tā shì lǎoshī.She is a teacher.这是我的书。Zhè shì wǒ de shū.This is my book.那是医院。Nà shì yīyuàn.That is the hospital.Pattern 3Adjective Predicates and 很 (hěn)A Chinese adjective can serve directly as the predicate. 很 often links the subject and adjective in a neutral statement; it does not always mean an emphatic “very.”Subject + 很 + Adjective天气很冷。Tiānqì hěn lěng.The weather is cold.这个房间很大。Zhège fángjiān hěn dà.This room is large.她很高兴。Tā hěn gāoxìng.She is happy.这件衣服很好看。Zhè jiàn yīfu hěn hǎokàn.This item of clothing looks good.Pattern 4Possession and Existence with 有 (yǒu)Use 有 for possession and for “there is/are.” Negate it with 没有, not 不有.Possessor/Place + 有 + Noun我有一本书。Wǒ yǒu yì běn shū.I have a book.房间里有两把椅子。Fángjiān lǐ yǒu liǎng bǎ yǐzi.There are two chairs in the room.我没有车。Wǒ méiyǒu chē.I do not have a car.这里没有人。Zhèlǐ méiyǒu rén.There is nobody here.Pattern 5Yes-or-No Questions with 吗 (ma)Add 吗 to a statement to form a neutral yes-or-no question. Keep the original word order.Statement + 吗？你是学生吗？Nǐ shì xuéshēng ma?Are you a student?他会说中文吗？Tā huì shuō Zhōngwén ma?Can he speak Chinese?今天冷吗？Jīntiān lěng ma?Is it cold today?你喜欢茶吗？Nǐ xǐhuan chá ma?Do you like tea?Pattern 6Question Words Stay in PlaceChinese question words generally appear where the answer would appear. Do not move them to the beginning as English often does.… + Question Word + …？你叫什么名字？Nǐ jiào shénme míngzi?What is your name?你去哪儿？Nǐ qù nǎr?Where are you going?谁是你的老师？Shéi shì nǐ de lǎoshī?Who is your teacher?这个多少钱？Zhège duōshao qián?How much is this?Pattern 7Negation with 不 and 没有Use 不 for habits, states, and future or intended actions. Use 没有 for possession, existence, and commonly for completed actions that did not occur.Subject + 不 / 没有 + Predicate我不喝茶。Wǒ bù hē chá.I do not drink tea.她不是医生。Tā bú shì yīshēng.She is not a doctor.我没有电脑。Wǒ méiyǒu diànnǎo.I do not have a computer.他昨天没有来。Tā zuótiān méiyǒu lái.He did not come yesterday.Pattern 8Completed Events and Changes with 了 (le)了 after a verb often marks a completed event. Sentence-final 了 can mark a new situation or change. It is not simply a past-tense ending.Verb + 了 / … + 了我买了一本书。Wǒ mǎi le yì běn shū.I bought a book.他到学校了。Tā dào xuéxiào le.He has arrived at school.孩子睡觉了。Háizi shuìjiào le.The child has gone to sleep.天气冷了。Tiānqì lěng le.The weather has become cold.Pattern 9Actions in Progress with 在 / 正在Place 在 or 正在 before an action verb to show that the action is in progress. 呢 may appear at the end, but it is not required.Subject + 在 / 正在 + Verb (+ Object)我在看书。Wǒ zài kàn shū.I am reading.她正在打电话。Tā zhèngzài dǎ diànhuà.She is making a phone call.孩子在睡觉。Háizi zài shuìjiào.The child is sleeping.他们正在上课呢。Tāmen zhèngzài shàngkè ne.They are in class right now.Pattern 10Time, Place, and Purpose Before the Main ActionTime usually comes after the subject and before the verb. A location phrase with 在 also precedes the main action. Two verbs can appear in sequence when the first action enables or explains the purpose of the second.Subject + Time + 在 + Place + Verb我明天去学校。Wǒ míngtiān qù xuéxiào.I am going to school tomorrow.他在公司工作。Tā zài gōngsī gōngzuò.He works at a company.我们上午八点上课。Wǒmen shàngwǔ bā diǎn shàngkè.We have class at eight in the morning.她去超市买水果。Tā qù chāoshì mǎi shuǐguǒ.She goes to the supermarket to buy fruit.
