Is this what you mean or you got confused with the meaning of these characters in sentence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashiriKata Posted December 3, 2004 at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 at 06:21 PM Xiaoxiajenny, I think Hanzi means the 3 grammatical particles, and not the full words. Hanzi, to put it simply: 1. You use了 in the sentense to indicate the completeness of an action or a change of state: 他来了吗？(Has he come yet?) 他不学中文了。(He doesn't learn Chinese anymore.) 我吃饭了。(I've eaten.) 2. You use 着 to indicate a continuous state or an on-going action: 外头下着雪呢 (It's snowing outside) 他在沙发上座着呢。(He's sitting on the sofa) 3. You use 过 to talk about experiences (been there, done that, etc): 我看过那个电影。(I've seen that film) 你吃过中国饭没有？(Have you ever tried Chinese food) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
