Duration of Actions
When a sentence contains both a time
expression that indicates the duration of
an action and an object, it needs to be
formed in one of these two patterns:
 A. Repetition of the verb
 B. Time expression placed before the
object, often with 的 (de)

Soccer vs. Football

Although the term 足
球 (zúqiú) literally
means “football,” it
refers to soccer,
rather than
American football.

To avoid confusion,
Chinese speakers
refer to American
football as 美式足球
(Měishì zúqiú,
American-style
football) or 橄榄球
(gǎnlǎn qiú, lit.,
“olive ball”).

the passive voice in Chinese
In Chinese, the passive voice is not
used as often as it is in English.
 It often carries negative connotations
and usually appears in situations that
are unpleasant for the receiver of the
action, or in situations where something
is lost.


constructed with 被 (bèi), 叫 (jiào), or 让
(ràng).

 receiver of the action + 被 (bèi)/ 叫
(jiào)/ 让 (ràng) + agent of the action +
verb + other element (complement/了
{le}, etc.)

identified, it can be referred to simply as
人 (rén, someone; people).
