Build the meaning

A than / compared to比bǐ B + adjective compares A with B: this这个zhè gethan / compared to比bǐthat那个nà geexpensive贵guì. Do not add degree / adjective linker很hěn immediately after than / compared to比bǐ in this basic pattern.

Use more更gèng to say even more: this这个zhè gemore更gèngcheap便宜pián yi. A description alone does not establish which choice is best for every person.

Useful words in context
- than / compared to比bǐ bǐ — than, comparison. this这个zhè gethan / compared to比bǐthat那个nà geexpensive贵guì。
- expensive贵guì guì — expensive. this这个zhè gedegree / adjective linker很hěnexpensive贵guì。

Pahami rute dan perbaiki kebingungan

Follow simple directions and ask for clarification.

Build the meaning

from从cóng……to / arrive到dào…… gives a starting point and destination. from从cóngschool学校xué xiàoto / arrive到dàohospital医院yī yuàn describes a route, not the hospital’s current location.

early先xiān……again / then再zài…… orders actions. 向左转xiàng zuǒ zhuǎn dan 向右转xiàng yòu zhuǎn mean turn left and turn right. Repeat the direction to check understanding.

Useful words in context

- to / arrive到dào dào — to / arrive. to / arrive到dàohospital医院yī yuàn。

Listen to a different passage

Ask a partner to read this with the script closed. Use the online practice for browser playback.

early先xiān向左走xiàng zuǒ zǒu，again / then再zài向右转xiàng yòu zhuǎn。hospital医院yī yuànat / in在zàischool学校xué xiàosisi旁边páng biān。

First go left, then turn right. The hospital is beside the school.

Speak and write

Give two-step directions. Your partner asks you to repeat the final turn.

Write a two-step route with a starting point and destination.

One speaking model: A: early先xiān向右走xiàng yòu zǒu，again / then再zài向左转xiàng zuǒ zhuǎn。 B: to ask请qǐngto say again再说zài shuōone time (all the way…一遍yī biàn。 A: again / then再zài向左转xiàng zuǒ zhuǎn。

One writing model: from从cóngschool学校xué xiàoto / arrive到dàohospital医院yī yuàn，early先xiān向左走xiàng zuǒ zǒu，again / then再zài向右转xiàng yòu zhuǎn。
- Name the starting point and destination.
- Use early先xiān dan again / then再zài to order actions.
- State a direction for each step.
Check the distinction: early先xiān dan again / then再zài indicate order. Do not choose a route by spotting only one familiar direction word.

Apa yang dipelajari dalam topik ini

Pengalaman dan hasil: (experienced)过guo untuk "pernah", pelengkap hasil untuk "berhasil melakukannya", dan (degree marker)得de untuk "seberapa baik".

(experienced)过guo: pernah

I / me我wǒ去过qù guòBeijing, capital of the…北京běi jīng。 (Wǒ qù guo Běijīng.) — Saya pernah ke Beijing.

Kata kerja + (experienced)过guo menandai pengalaman masa lalu — hal itu terjadi setidaknya sekali dalam hidup Anda. Ini tidak menyebutkan kejadian selesai spesifik yang baru-baru ini; itulah tugas (completed / change)了le.

Pelengkap hasil: apakah berhasil?

variant of 吃吃chīto finish完wán (chī wán) selesai makan · to understand (on hearing)听懂tīng dǒng (tīngdǒng) mengerti (dengan mendengarkan) · to write写xiěgood好hǎo (xiě hǎo) selesai menulis dengan baik.

Kata kerja kedua menyatakan hasil. Untuk menegatifkannya, gunakan not / haven't没méi pada keseluruhan: not / haven't没méivariant of 吃吃chīto finish完wán (méi chī wán) — tidak selesai makan.

I / me我wǒto listen to听tīng(completed / change)了le，but但是dàn shìnot / haven't没méito understand (on hearing)听懂tīng dǒng。 (Wǒ tīng le, dànshì méi tīngdǒng.) — Saya mendengarkan, tetapi tidak mengerti. to listen to听tīng mendeskripsikan tindakan; to understand懂dǒng hasilnya yang tercapai. Aktivitas dan hasilnya merupakan klaim yang berbeda.

(degree marker)得de: seberapa baik

he / him他tāto run跑pǎo(degree marker)得de很快hěn kuài。 (Tā pǎo de hěn kuài.) — Dia berlari sangat cepat.

Kata kerja + (degree marker)得de + kata sifat mendeskripsikan bagaimana tindakan dilakukan — pertahankan deskripsi struktur yang terikat pada kata kerja.

Nasihat dalam konteks

Istirahat lebih banyak, jangan terlalu lelah — istirahatlah lebih banyak, jangan sampai terlalu lelah. Simulasi peran kesejahteraan mengajarkan bahasa, bukan rekomendasi medis.

Cobalah. Satu kalimat dengan (experienced)过guo (pengalaman) dan satu dengan komplemen hasil (pekerjaan yang telah selesai).

Hati-hati

Tindakan yang sedang terjadi tidak menjamin hasilnya tercapai — (completed / change)了le dan komplemen hasil memiliki fungsi yang berbeda.

Tinjauan

I / me我wǒ去过qù guòBeijing, capital of the…北京běi jīng menginformasikan jenis fakta apa?

Bagaimana menegasi variant of 吃吃chīto finish完wán？

Dalam to run跑pǎo(degree marker)得de很快hěn kuài， (degree marker)得de menempelkan deskripsi ke mana?

I / me我wǒto listen to听tīng(completed / change)了le，but但是dàn shìnot / haven't没méito understand (on hearing)听懂tīng dǒng — apakah proses mendengar itu terjadi? Apakah pemahaman itu tercapai?

(Jawaban: 1. Pengalaman hidup — setidaknya sekali. 2. not / haven't没méivariant of 吃吃chīto finish完wán — not / haven't没méi menegasi seluruh hasil. 3. Kata kerja to run跑pǎo — ia mendeskripsikan bagaimana tindakan tersebut berlangsung. 4. Ya; tidak — tindakan dan hasil adalah terpisah.)

Deskripsikan keluarga dan jelaskan adat istiadat

Give basic family information and describe a festival activity.

Build the meaning

to have / there is有yǒu describes family members or possessions. I / me我wǒto have / there is有yǒu一个yí gèolder sister姐姐jiě jiě gives the relationship and quantity.

because因为yīn wèi……so / therefore所以suǒ yǐ…… links a reason and result. Chinese can use both markers; English often translates the relationship with just because or so.

Useful words in context

Explain a change of plan and respond with a suggestion.

Build the meaning

why?为什么wèi shén me asks for a reason; because因为yīn wèi introduces one. A reply should explain the decision rather than repeat it.

……(suggestion)吧ba can soften a suggestion: we / us我们wǒ mentomorrow明天míng tiānto go去qù(suggestion)吧ba. (completed / change)了le can indicate a new situation in to rain下雨xià yǔ(completed / change)了le; it is not simply a past-tense marker.

- because因为yīn wèi yīnwèi — because. because因为yīn wèito rain下雨xià yǔ(completed / change)了le。

It is hot today. I am not going to the park. Let’s go in the evening.

Speak and write

Say why a fictional trip cannot happen today. Suggest a new time and let your partner accept or decline.

Write a reason for a change of plan and a new suggestion.

One speaking model: A: because因为yīn wèito rain下雨xià yǔ(completed / change)了le，we / us我们wǒ mentomorrow明天míng tiānto go去qù(suggestion)吧ba。 B: baik好hǎo，tomorrow明天míng tiānto go去qù。

One writing model: because因为yīn wèitoday今天jīn tiāndegree / adjective linker很hěnto warm up热rè，we / us我们wǒ menevening晚上wǎn shàngto go去qù(suggestion)吧ba。
- Give a reason.
- Give a new time.
- Use (suggestion)吧ba for the suggestion, not as an English tense.
Check the distinction: A suggestion is not a confirmed arrangement until the other person agrees. (completed / change)了le may signal a change, not merely past time.

Selesaikan pesan dengan karakter yang tepat

Use the sentence meaning and pronunciation to choose a character.

Build the meaning

Characters with similar sounds can have different meanings: at / in在zài zài locates something; again / then再zài zài can mean again or then.

To complete a message, check the whole sentence, the pinyin cue, and the role of the missing word. Guessing from sound alone is not enough.

Useful words in context
- at / in在zài zài — at / in. I / me我wǒat / in在zàischool学校xué xiào。
- again / then再zài zài — again / then. to ask请qǐngto say again再说zài shuōone time (all the way…一遍yī biàn。

One writing model: I / me我wǒat / in在zàischool学校xué xiào。tomorrow明天míng tiānafternoon下午xià wǔ四点sì diǎnto appear见jiàn。
