  2. 怎么(zěnme, how; how come) in Questions • 怎么 (zěnme, how; how come) is an interrogative pronoun. • It is often used to ask about the manner of an action as in • sometimes the reason or the cause of an action

  3. 请你教我怎么写“懂”这个字。 • Qǐng nǐ jiāo wǒ zěnme xiě “dǒng” zhè ge zì. • Please teach me how to write the character “dong.”

  4. 你怎么才来？ • Nǐ zěnme cái lái? • How come you’ve just arrived?

  5. 你怎么没去看电影？ • Nǐ zěnme méi qù kàn diànyǐng? • Why didn’t you go to the movie?

  6. Both 怎么 (zěnme, how come) vs. 为什么 (wèishénme, why) ask about the cause of or reason for something. • 怎么 (zěnme, how come) • conveys the speaker’s bewilderment or surprise • whereas 为什么 (wèishénme, why) • does not convey the speaker’s bewilderment or surprise

  7. 早上 (zǎoshang) vs 上午 (shàngwǔ)“morning” (but the two Chinese words are not interchangeable) • 早上 (zǎoshang) refers to early morning • 上午 (shàngwǔ) refers to the latter part of the morning or to the first half of the day (until noon)

  8. 早 (zǎo, Good morning!) • It is heard quite often in Chinese cities. • Other morning greetings sound rather formal to many Chinese people: • 早上好 (zǎoshang hǎo) • 早安 (zǎo’ān)

  9. The 的 (de) Structure • We have a 的 (de) structure when an adjective is followed by the structural particle 的 (de) • Grammatically, a 的 (de) structure is equivalent to a noun

  10. When Bai Ying’ai says: • “他是一个男的” • Tā shì yí ge nán de • it is clear from the context that she means a male (one)

  11. 我写了十个字，五个难的，五个容易的。 • Wǒ xiě le shí ge zì, wǔ ge nán de, wǔ ge róngyì de. • I wrote ten characters, five difficult ones and five easy ones.

  12. 帅 (shuài) vs 漂亮 (piàoliang, pretty) • 帅 (shuài) is used to describe a handsome—usually young man. • 漂亮 (piàoliang, pretty) is used to describe an attractive woman

  13. 好看 (hǎokàn, good-looking) • Genderneutral • for people of either sex and in any age group.

  14. The Use of Nouns and Pronouns in Continuous Discourse • If a noun serves as the unchanged subject in a continuous discourse, its later appearances in the ensuing clauses or sentences generally should be substituted by an appropriate pronoun or simply omitted. • The pronoun, in turn, can also be omitted after its first appearance.

  15. 小高很喜欢学中文。(他)晚上预习课文、 复习语法、练习写汉字，常常很晚才 睡觉。 • Xiǎo Gāo hěn xǐhuan xué Zhōngwén. (Tā) wǎnshang yùxí kèwén, fùxí yǔfǎ, liànxí xiě Hànzì, chángcháng hěn wǎn cái shuì jiào. • Little Gao likes to study Chinese very much. At night, he previews the text, reviews the grammar, and practices writing the characters. Often he doesn’t go to bed until very late.

  16. If we keep repeating the subject , we will end up with a bunch of choppy, seemingly unrelated sentences: 小高很喜欢学中文。小高晚上预习课文，小高复习语法、小高练习写汉字。小高常常很晚才睡觉。 Xiǎo Gāo hěn xǐhuan xué Zhōngwén. Xiǎo Gāo wǎnshang yùxí kèwén, Xiǎo Gāo fùxí yǔfǎ, Xiǎo Gāo liànxí xiě Hànzì. Xiǎo Gāo chángcháng hěn wǎn cái shuì jiào.
