This type of lesson is far more advanced than the average hsk 1 type of video. I really appreciate this because it's time to move past the basics and start to go into real speaking and authenticl conversation. Thank you for this interesting and informative video.我非常喜欢你的课我也喜欢你。

[@EverydayChinese]

John，谢谢你喜欢跟我们学中文。如果你有什么好的提议，请告诉我们，那样可以帮助我们做出更好的课程。

[@noname89636]

I have to say this again....you are the ONLY teacher to ACTUALLY axplain sentence structure. Now I completely understand why and how you order the words the way you do.

[@noname89636]

I am sorry (and yes I just started my Mandarin journey 3 weeks ago), but you are the ONLY teacher I have seen so far who has ACTUALLY EXPLAINED sentence structure. This are the answers I have been looking for.

[@stevemadaffari1602]

Your video is very clear in explaining sentence structure, 谢谢您！

妹妹昨天在家里弹钢琴弹了两个小的 我今天早上吃了一个苹果 妈妈上个星期去了医院 Your videos help me a lot ... keep it up ... 最好的老师

[@raftaarinho3521]

I've watched the video. The explanation is so clear. Now I think I'm ready to make own sentences. 多谢，老师！ Here's my answer. 1。我今天早上一个平果吃了。 2。妈妈上个星期医院去了。 3。妹妹昨天在家里碳钢琴弹了两个小时。

第三句可以改成：妹妹昨天在家里弹了两个小时的钢琴，这样通顺一点。

I am just beginning to learn Chinese, but this is very helpful. I am confused by the example sentence in the exercises at the end about the sister playing piano. Why does the verb 'play' appear twice in this sentence? Because of that, I'm not sure what order to put it in.

[@klemmichard8916]

Subject and object are functions, where verb is a head. Basic grammar teaches you you can't blend kinds and functions. Either use noun phrase + verb + non phrase, or subject + predicate + object. You can also explain the syntax with agent + action + patient. But don't mix them up.

[@enricobrasil]

It's well know in Linguistics the terminology SVO (SOV, etc.) to describe each an every language pattern on planet Earth. Your so called "basic grammar" is just too basic to understand what they are doing is completely right and common.

[@nguyenbichnu7563]

[@dianemerveilleux4103]

谢谢 for your help ! How would you say “My sister has played the piano for 3 years?” Since it’s a duration of time, is it also at the end? Like 妹妹弹钢琴弹了三年

[@EverydayChinese]

"妹妹弹钢琴弹了三年", it makes sense. It would sound more natural if you add a "了" at the end of the sentence, like this "妹妹弹钢琴弹了三年了", or "妹妹弹了三年钢琴了".

[@user-qc5pn1fv2s]

What about this structure Subject + zai + place + verbe + object

[@ShermanSitter]

Why is the verb in set #3 duplicated? What is the rule on that and why? (starting at 9:56)

[@EverydayChinese]

The sentence pattern there is called "verb-copying sentence" in Chinese Grammar. The structure is: S + Verb1 + O + Verb1 + (得/了) + Complement
