语法点 Language Points

1. “呢”：和“在”一起构成“在……呢”，表示动作正在进行。例如：

“呢”:used together with“在”to form the construction“在……呢”,which expresses an action in progress at the moment of speech.For example:

A：你在做什么呢？

A:What are you doing?

B：我在看电影呢。

B: I am watching a movie.

注意：“呢”可以省略，省略后不影响句子的意思，只影响句子的语气。有“呢”的句子语气比较和缓。例如：

Note:“呢”can be omitted. If omitted,the meaning of the sentence stays the same, however the tone of the sentence will change.Having“呢”gives the sentence a softer tone.

A：你在做什么？

A:What are you doing?

B：我在买衣服。

B:I am buying clothes.

 

2. “在”＋动词＋（宾语）＋“呢”：表示动作正在进行。例如：

“在”+verb+(object)+“呢”:expresses an action in progress at the moment of speech.“在”+verb+(objec For example:

我在看书呢。

I am reading a book.

我在学写字呢。

I am learning to write characters.

我在看电影呢。

I am watching a movie.

注意：这里“在”是副词，不是“在”＋地方的“在”，也不是“在”＋地方＋谓语的“在”。例如：

Note:The“在”in“在””+verb+(object)+“呢”bject)+“呢”is an adverb,and it＇s different from the “在”in“在”+place or in“在”+place +pre+ predicate.For example:

（1）“在”是动词。

“在”is a verb.

A：你在哪儿？

A:Where are you?

B：我在商店。

B:I am at the shop.

（2）“在”是介词。

“在”is a preposition.

A：你在哪儿学习汉语？

A:Where do you study Chinese? 

B：我在北京学习汉语。

B:I study Chinese in Beijing.

（3）“在”是副词。

“在”is an adverb.

A：你在做什么呢？

A:What are you doing?

B：我在买衣服呢。

B:I am buying clothes.

 

3. “动词＋“了”＋（数量词）宾语：句子中有动态助词“了”，动词后有宾语时，宾语一般要有数量词等定语。例如：

verb+“了”+(quantifier) object:when the dynamic auxiliary“了”is present in the sentence and the verb is followed by an object,this object should be preceded by a quantifier that acts as an attributive. For example:

上午莎莉打了两个电话。

Sally called two times in the morning.

昨天我吃了两个苹果。

I ate two apples yesterday.

今天我写了九十九个字。

I wrote 99 characters today.
