### Foreword

Verbs play a very important role in the Chinese language just like in English. However, they do not change their forms like in English. In this sense, Chinese verbs are much easier to learn. Before you start to read this book, here are the following things you should know

1.Colors of the words

For each sentence, there are mostly 4 colors

Black is for the characters and the English translation for the sentence, red is for pinyin , blue is for the original meaning of each segment , brown means the object after the verb, orange refers to the name of a place, restaurant, shop, hotel or school, and green refers to the auxiliary verb.

2.[ ] and { } ,"fw" ,Q, A as well as D

"[ ]"is like a tag that keeps a word or phrase together in many sentences and in some more complex sentence structures"{ }" goes outside of [ ] to specify the whole chunk to be a phrase. Function word is abbreviated as "fw."

Q is a question, A is an answer, and D refers to a declarative sentence without a question before it.

3.This book is structured according to different functions of life food and drink, clothing, housing, transportation, education and entertainment. You can start from any chapter.

4.There is a CD in the physical book version that comprises of all the audio tracks that you can listen to over and over again to help the content stick in your brain.

5.Finally, learning a new language is like forming a new habit. Try looking at it from this new perspective. Dedicate time each day for study and practice speaking whenever you have the chance. You may be surprised at how quickly you can master this new language. I hope you enjoy learning Chinese verbs!"

Ch Chapter L Lesson

#### Pronunciation Guide

Chinese is a language based on tones. Learning the tones is an important key to mastering Chinese pronunciation. There are mainly four tones in the Chinese language, and one neutral tone (also called the fifth tone). The same word can have different meanings based on the tone. For example, the word "ji" has four different meanings based on the tone that is used.

Tone1st tone jī (chicken)2nd tonejí (hurry) 3rd tone jǐ(crowded )4th tone jì (season)

The following paragraph illustrates how to pronounce the four main tones and the neutral tone

1st Tone To pronounce the 1st tone, simply prolong the sounds and the pitch is flat. 2nd ToneTo pronounce the 2nd tone, the pitch goes up gradually.

3rd Tone To pronounce the 3rd tone, the pitch first goes down and then up.

4th Tone To pronounce the 4th tone, the pitch is shorter and goes down quickly.

Neutral Tone Neutral tones are indicated without a symbol. To pronounce the neutral tone, the pitch drops very quickly and almost stops right away.

The tones are represented by symbols above the vowels in the Pinyin (the Chinese word written with the English alphabet), to show how a word should be pronounced (e.g., nǐ hǎo mā? wǒ hěn hǎo.) The Roman characters are mostly pronounced the same as the English alphabet, however, there are some exceptions, illustrated in the following chart

*Some characters have more than one pronunciation for the same meaning. For example, "什" in"什麼(what) "can be pronounced as "shé" or "shén" and "和(and)" can be articulated as "hé" or "hàn." Some characters written in different ways may have the same pronunciation and meaning. For instance "度假" and "渡假"both mean "take a vacation" ,"度過" and "渡過" both mean "spend time" as well as"刮風"and "颳風"both mean "the wind blows."

#### Verb Tenses

Unlike English that changes the form of the verbs to express tense, the Chinese language has no verb conjugations. It relies heavily on time adverbs and some function words like "過", "完", "好" and "了" to express the change of tense. (In this book, "fw" is used to represent "function word.")

(*This sentence implies that the speaker may have gone through discussions with his/her fellows and afterwards decided on this option.)

3.Present Perfect Tense

(1)Express that something has happened.

One example is to use the time adverb, "已 經yǐ jīng (already)" in the sentence. Also the following function words are used to support the verb

了 leAn action is completed.

過guòOne thing is done and it is in the past.

完wánOne task is finished.

好hǎoOne thing is finished and ready for the next action.

(3)Talk about experiences

"過guò" is often used to express the concept of experiences. In this case, "了le" is not used in the sentence.

nǐ [qù guò ] [ōu zhōu] ma ?

you [go+ fw] [Europe] +fw?

Have you been to Europe?

你 [吃 過] [牛 肉 麵] 嗎?

I [want] [eat rice] [fw]
