Original teaching practice. Read one pattern, cover its model and try the questions before checking the separate answer section. Examples adapted from Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning, CC BY-NC-SA) retain the course-reference provenance.
so much这么 / like that那么 + Adjective (so …)
It really is that hot
- You step outside in July and it is much hotter than you expected.
- today今天how / why怎么so much这么to warm up热！ — "How come it is so hot today!" so much这么 points to the degree you are feeling right now.
so much这么 / like that那么 + Adjective
- so much这么 + Adj = "so …" about something here and now; like that那么 + Adj = "so …" about something over there, earlier or mentioned.
- Like degree / adjective linker很, they stand directly before the adjective: so much这么expensive贵, like that那么to distance oneself from…远.
this这(measure word)件clothes衣服so这么expensive贵。
Near and far
- Holding the shoes: 这双鞋so much这么cheap便宜！ — "These shoes are so cheap!"
- Talking about a city you visited: there那儿(modifier / structural particle)的winter冬天like that那么cold冷，you你how / why怎么to put up with受得了？ — "The winters there are so cold; how do you stand it?"
you你home家so那么far远，every day每天how怎么come来？
Keep one degree word
- Do not add degree / adjective linker很 as well: so much这么to warm up热, not so much这么degree / adjective linker很to warm up热, since so much这么 already gives the degree.
- Place so much这么 or like that那么 before the adjective, not after it: like that那么to distance oneself from…远, not to distance oneself from…远like that那么.
Also in comparisons
- like that那么 often sharpens a not have / haven't没有 comparison: I / me我not have / haven't没有he / him他like that那么high高。 — "I am not as tall as him."
- so much这么 can also go before a verb of degree: you你how / why怎么so much这么to like喜欢variant of 吃吃hot (spicy)辣(modifier / structural particle)的？
I我not as没有him他so那么tall高。
Recap
- so much这么 / like that那么 + Adjective = "so …": so much这么 for here and now, like that那么 for there, then or what was mentioned.
- It replaces degree / adjective linker很; it often comes with how / why怎么 (surprise) or not have / haven't没有 (comparison).
Practise this pattern step by step.
A with / and跟 / and / with和 B same一样 (the same as)
Twins in the same class
- Two classmates are exactly the same height, and a new teacher keeps mixing them up.
- older brother哥哥with / and跟younger brother弟弟same一样high高。 — "The older brother is as tall as the younger brother."
A with / and跟 / and / with和 B same一样 (+ Adjective)
- A + with / and跟 / and / with和 + B + same一样 = "A is the same as B"; add an adjective to say in what way: same一样high高, same一样busy忙.
- with / and跟 and and / with和 both work here; with / and跟 is a little more common in speech.
my我的phone手机and跟yours你的the same一样。
The same as, but not the same
- Negate by putting not不 before same一样: I / me我(modifier / structural particle)的way of thinking想法with / and跟you你(modifier / structural particle)的not不same一样。 — "My idea is different from yours."
- Ask with (yes/no ?)吗 or same一样not不same一样: Beijing, capital of the…北京(modifier / structural particle)的winter冬天with / and跟Shanghai municipality…上海(modifier / structural particle)的same一样cold冷(yes/no ?)吗？
today今天and跟yesterday昨天equally一样cold冷。
Where not不 and degree / adjective linker很 go
- not不 goes before same一样: with / and跟he / him他not不same一样, not not不with / and跟he / him他same一样 for "different from him".
- No degree / adjective linker很 before the adjective after same一样: same一样high高, not same一样degree / adjective linker很high高.
same一样 versus than / compared to比
- same一样 says the two are equal; than / compared to比 says one is more: older brother哥哥than / compared to比younger brother弟弟high高 ("taller than").
- same一样 can also describe a noun with (modifier / structural particle)的: we / us我们to buy买(completed / change)了same一样(modifier / structural particle)的clothes衣服。 — "We bought the same clothes."
we我们bought买了the same一样的clothes衣服。
Recap
- A with / and跟/and / with和 B same一样 (+ Adj) = A is (as Adj as) B. Negative: A with / and跟 B not不same一样.
- The adjective after same一样 stays bare; same一样(modifier / structural particle)的 + noun = the same thing.
Practise this pattern step by step.
again又 … again又 … (both … and …)
A good buy
- You found a jacket that looks great and costs very little, and you want to say both at once.
- 这件clothes衣服again又cheap便宜again又good-looking好看。 — "This jacket is both cheap and good-looking."
again又 + A + again又 + B
- Subject + again又 + Adj/Verb + again又 + Adj/Verb: each again又 sits directly before its own description.
- The two qualities point the same way, both good or both bad: 又快又好, again又rope累again又to be hungry饿.
I我both又tired累and又hungry饿。
Actions as well as qualities
- Verb phrases fit too: child孩子(plural)们again又to sing唱again又to jump跳。 — "The children sang and danced."
- Use it to describe a person or place with two clear features: she / her她(modifier / structural particle)的room房间again又see 大夫大again又clean干净。
the children孩子们both又sing唱and又dance跳。
Keep the two halves matched
- Use two qualities with the same direction: again又cheap便宜again又good-looking好看 is natural; again又cheap便宜again又ugly难看 sounds odd unless you are joking.
- No degree / adjective linker很 inside the pattern: 又高又大, not again又degree / adjective linker很high高again又很大.
again又…again又… versus also也 and and / with和
- and / with和 cannot join two adjectives in a predicate: say again又cheap便宜again又good-looking好看, not cheap便宜and / with和good-looking好看.
- again又…again又… stresses that both features are present at the same time; degree / adjective linker很cheap便宜，also也degree / adjective linker很good-looking好看 lists them one after another.
here这儿的food菜very很cheap便宜，also也very很tasty好吃。
Recap
- again又 A again又 B = both A and B, at the same time. Each again又 goes before its own adjective or verb.
- Pick two qualities that point the same way, and leave out degree / adjective linker很.
Practise this pattern step by step.
Subject + fairly / rather比较 + Adjective (fairly, rather)
Not great, not terrible
- A friend asks how your new job is. It is fine, but you would not call it amazing.
- to work工作比较忙，but不过colleague同事all / both都degree / adjective linker很good好。 — "The work is fairly busy, but my colleagues are all nice."
fairly / rather比较 + Adjective
- Subject + fairly / rather比较 + Adj = "fairly, rather, relatively": fairly / rather比较expensive贵, fairly / rather比较difficult / hard难, fairly / rather比较to distance oneself from…远.
- Here fairly / rather比较 is an adverb of degree, so it takes the place of degree / adjective linker很; there is no second thing being compared.
this这(measure word)个question问题fairly比较difficult难。
A softer way to answer
- Answering "Is the restaurant far?": fairly / rather比较to distance oneself from…远，we / us我们to take a taxi (in town)打车(suggestion)吧。 — "It's rather far; let's take a taxi."
- fairly / rather比较 also goes before some verbs of liking: I / me我fairly / rather比较to like喜欢to drink tea喝茶。 — "I prefer tea (I like tea more)."
I我rather比较like喜欢drinking喝tea茶。
Do not combine it with than / compared to比
- In a than / compared to比 comparison, fairly / rather比较 cannot appear before the adjective: he / him他than / compared to比I / me我high高, not he / him他than / compared to比I / me我fairly / rather比较high高.
- Do not stack it with degree / adjective linker很: 比较忙, not degree / adjective linker很比较忙 or fairly / rather比较degree / adjective linker很busy忙.
fairly / rather比较 as a verb
- fairly / rather比较 can also be a verb meaning "to compare": we / us我们fairly / rather比较(used after a verb) give it…一下this这两个cell phone手机。 — "Let's compare these two phones."
- Tell them apart by position: before an adjective it means "fairly"; with an object it means "compare".
we我们compare比较briefly一下these这two两个phones手机。
Recap
- fairly / rather比较 + Adj = fairly, rather; it replaces degree / adjective linker很 and gives a moderate answer.
- It never goes inside a than / compared to比 sentence. With an object, fairly / rather比较 is the verb "compare".
Practise this pattern step by step.
many多 + Adjective + (exclamation)啊! (how …!)
The view from the top
- You reach the top of a mountain and the whole city lies below you.
- here这儿(modifier / structural particle)的scenery风景many多beautiful美(exclamation)啊！ — "How beautiful the view is here!"
many多 + Adjective + (exclamation)啊！
- many多 + Adj + (exclamation)啊 is an exclamation: "How … !" many多 goes before the adjective and (exclamation)啊 closes the sentence.
- The adjective stands alone: 多好(exclamation)啊, 多快(exclamation)啊, many多adorable可爱(exclamation)啊.
your你的daughter女儿how多cute可爱啊！
Sharing a feeling
- Admiring: you你(modifier / structural particle)的Chinese language中文variant of 说说(degree marker)得many多good好(exclamation)啊！ — "How well you speak Chinese!"
- Complaining works too: today今天多热(exclamation)啊！ — "How hot it is today!"
today今天how多hot热啊！
Exclaim, do not ask
- No degree / adjective linker很 inside: many多beautiful美(exclamation)啊, not many多degree / adjective linker很beautiful美(exclamation)啊; many多 already carries the degree.
- Keep (exclamation)啊 and the exclamation mark. Without them, many多 + Adj often becomes a question: 多远？ — "How far is it?"
many多…(exclamation)啊 versus too太…(completed / change)了
- too太 + Adj + (completed / change)了 also reacts strongly: too太beautiful美(completed / change)了！ It is common and often means "too": 太贵(completed / change)了.
- many多 + Adj + (exclamation)啊 is warmer and more admiring; it suits praise and wonder.
this这(measure word)件clothes衣服too太expensive贵了！
Recap
- many多 + Adj + (exclamation)啊！ = How … ! An exclamation of admiration or strong feeling.
- Bare adjective, no degree / adjective linker很; without (exclamation)啊 and "！", many多 + Adj can be a question about amount.
Practise this pattern step by step.
Adjective + (modifier / structural particle)的 + Noun (describing a noun)
Which one is yours?
- At the station a lost-property officer asks which bag is yours. You need more than "a bag".
- I / me我(modifier / structural particle)的to be / is是that那个red (color)红色(modifier / structural particle)的大包。 — "Mine is that big red bag."
Adjective + (modifier / structural particle)的 + Noun
- Adj + (modifier / structural particle)的 + Noun: the description comes first and (modifier / structural particle)的 links it to the noun: pretty漂亮(modifier / structural particle)的flower花, interesting有意思(modifier / structural particle)的book书.
- Two-syllable adjectives and adjectives with degree / adjective linker很 usually need (modifier / structural particle)的: degree / adjective linker很good好(modifier / structural particle)的friend朋友, clean干净(modifier / structural particle)的room房间.
she她is是a一(measure word)个very很clever聪明的student学生。
Short fixed pairs drop (modifier / structural particle)的
- Many one-syllable adjectives join the noun directly: good person好人, 新车, major city大城市, black tea红茶.
- These pairs act like single words. Adding (modifier / structural particle)的 makes the description more contrastive: 我要new新(modifier / structural particle)的, don't不要old旧(modifier / structural particle)的.
Beijing北京is是a一(measure word)个big大city城市。
When (modifier / structural particle)的 is needed
- Keep (modifier / structural particle)的 after degree / adjective linker很 + Adj: degree / adjective linker很good好(modifier / structural particle)的friend朋友, not degree / adjective linker很good好friend朋友.
- The description goes before the noun, never after: pretty漂亮(modifier / structural particle)的clothes衣服, not clothes衣服pretty漂亮(modifier / structural particle)的 (that is a separate sentence pattern).
Leaving the noun out
- When the noun is clear, Adj + (modifier / structural particle)的 can stand alone: I / me我to like喜欢red红(modifier / structural particle)的。 — "I like the red one."
- This is common in shops and choices: see 大夫大(modifier / structural particle)的or / still还是small小(modifier / structural particle)的？ — "The big one or the small one?"
you你want要big大的or还是small小的？
Recap
- Adj + (modifier / structural particle)的 + Noun describes a noun; the description always comes first.
- degree / adjective linker很 + Adj and most two-syllable adjectives need (modifier / structural particle)的; common one-syllable pairs (good person好人, 新车) do not. Adj + (modifier / structural particle)的 alone = "the … one".
