Grammar
1. Asking when 什么时候 (shénme shíhòu)
什么时候 (shénme shíhòu) is used to ask “what time” or “when”. It may be used to ask a
wider range of time frame rather than a specific time. Word order for 什么时候 shénme
shíhòu(when) is Subject + 什么时候 (shénme shíhòu) + V. O.
Example:
When do you go home?
你什么时候回家? Nǐ shénme shíhòu huíjiā?
When do we have class?
我们什么时候上课? Wǒmen shénme shíhòu shàngkè?
When do they get up?
他们什么时候起床? Tāmen shénme shíhòu qǐchuáng?
When do you go to China?
你什么时候去中国? Nǐ shénme shíhòu qù zhōngguó?
5. 2. The Adverbs 就(jiù) and 我就是 (wǒ jiù shì)
就(jiù) is used to emphasis the verb in the sentence 我就是(wǒ jiù shì)。我就是(wǒ jiù
shì) means this is she/ he.
她就是林君。Tā jiùshì Lín Jūn.
She is Lin Jun. (Emphasis on she.)
大山就是我的同学。Dàshān jiù shì wǒde tóngxué.
Dashan is my classmate. (Emphasis on Dashan.)
3. Progressive Form with 在
在 + V is similar to the English -ing verb ending which means someone or something is
doing / working “right now” or “at present time.”
The main sentence pattern is Subject + 在 zai + Verb + Object. And the negative
sentence pattern is Subject + 没有 meiyou or 不 bu + 在 zai + Verb + Object.
