Daily 語法
- When using place as a modifier （定語）of a noun （名詞）, it is almost always the case you will use a 的： 前邊的大樓市新建的
- When using nouns to signify place or placement, a directional complement must be used (i.e. 上， 裏， 前，後， 左，右）: 我把書放在桌子"上". The exception is when countires or cities are refered to.
- Directional words can be compounded and doubled-up to convey the sense of oscillating movement (adverb) or approximation (adjective): 上下， 左右， 内外， 前後. Ex. 一前一後地走； 一百人左右
- The 們 character can be used to pluralize people, but there are restrictions: (1) it can not be used after a person(s) has already been modified by another adjective, and (2) it can not be used in the middle of a sentence.
- Four general types of nouns: (1) 一般 (common:); (2) 專有 (proper:); (3) 集體 (compound:人口); (4) 抽象 (abstract: 概念).
- Four different kinds of clauses in Chinese: (1) 名詞 (nominal: 一本書）, (2) 動詞 (verbal：去買書)， (3) 形容詞 (adjectival：很大)，(4) 主謂 (topic-comment：學習努力)
- Two kinds of words in Chinese: 實詞 (words with concrete meaning, i.e. nouns and verbs) and 虛詞 (words that express only emotion or grammatical function)
