AMAZING!!! I have watched this video so many times and sent it to my students for helping them understand it better! the way you explained is way clearer than any other ways I could possibly think!!! HUGE THANK YOU!

[@lung-huahu8895]

Great job! One quick suggestion: Use ‘the book’ instead of ‘a book’ and the like in your English explanation, i.e. use definite article in place of indefinite article as the vast majority of the noun after ‘ba’ is definite. In fact, this is one of the rules we want students to apply when we teach the structure.

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Thanks for the tip!

[@chamling.chsmlingrai6839]

You are the best teacher I've found in KZbin till date. Xiexie!

[@DanielvanderScheun]

I was finding Mandarin relatively easy until this "bă" thing. Your video really helped, thanks.

[@sasino]

I agree it confused me at first but now it's all clear and it makes sense, when we speak mandarin we want to put the most important things at the end of the sentence

[@asimqadri2009]

This "ba" concept is challenging for english speaker .. you explained its basics in very simple way .. bravo

Your videos are great ! Clear, well presented and effective, I feel like I understood very quickly those grammar points. Thank you for your work !

[@williamkhant2741]

I could only find your seven videos but which are the best Chinese grammar lessons, I mean I , and someone learning Chinese, need more lessons from you.

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

William Khant, Thank you so much for your encouragement! I apologize for not updating in the past month due to some traveling. There is a new video coming out next week, I'm just making some final changes. Thank you for subscribing.

[@francoisfiset4894]

[@writeruthterry]

Great instructional video! My weakest point is grammar, so this is much appreciated. Thank you!

[@rsainz1296]

Thank you! I have struggled with 吧 for a long time. I will review this lesson many times!

[@kingbigmac8788]

Your videos are helping me a lot, 谢谢！

[@OffeJ83]

Took me forever to get used to 把l I mean, I eventually figured it out because it reminds me of Korean and Japanese but your translation of “take” and “then” made it so much easier to comprehend in English

[@seanspartan2023]

Excellent explanation! 谢谢您

[@AmberU]

Thank you for this lesson I took HSK 2 about 3 weeks ago and now here comes ba structure which is def a new concept.

Thank you for a very interesting explanation on bǎ sentence structure.

[@bailong7461]

finally, it has 'clicked', by simply thinking of it as 'took the {..} and {..} it is 100% clear now, thanks so much!

[@luoyisishimisi470]

Thank you and more videos on grammar, please.

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Luoyisi Shimisi Thank you for watching. There are more videos in production. Please share the videos with whomever you think would be interested. I am very pleased to learn that you liked it!

[@thegreenpianist7683]

Hi thank you for this valuable tool , can please make a video one 了at the end of sentence and了right after the verb ? Thank you

[@lukew.9870]

了 right after the verb is more like "-ed" after a verb in English to imply past tense, 了 at the end of a sentence is an aspect marker to show "change has happened". They are often interchangeable, but you can literally use them both in a sentence like 我吃了饭了。

So in this case 把 acts like the particle は in Japanese, and the words order also looks like Japanese word order.

[@olgaglazova3185]

把 is like を

[@Sunnyanhnotes]

Very useful, thank you so much

[@spicyplumfairy]

你真棒！我把这个学会了。

[@chikamazri5817]

I suggest Chinese speaker to use this trick to learn Japanese. Japanese language is SOV, and Chinese languages can turn into SOV structure too with this trick.

[@chikamazri5817]

And thats one of the reason why Japanese and Korean language is easier to learn for Chinese speaker than for Indo-European language speaker on average.

[@garyguo7895]

Ancient Chinese is also SOV

[@shellyshantel1]

I just discovered your channel today and have watched every video multiple times....GREAT TOOLS. I can not read characters (however that is the next step in my journey of learning Chinese). Can you please give the answers in pinying as well as characters. Also will be contacting you in the near future for lesson. I am still struggling with understand what is bing said to me in Chinese.

[@Jeroeny]

I love your videos. Hopefully you make some more. I have 1 question though. In your sentence 我把书还给他了you don't use the measure word本。Is it not needed because of the structure 把 or is there another reason? 谢谢你

[@LeeteuksWife]

Jeroen Kalthof as fat as I know you don't need to use it, because you're talking about one, specific book. In 把 construction we can talk only about specific things, for example >this< book - 这本书 or just 书 or >this exact< photo - 这张照片/照片.

[@lauraramon619]

yeah when you use the 把 sentence you dont talk about a book, you talk about an specific one, so you dont need to use the messure word. I must say the 把 was really difficult for me to understand at first, cause there are different ways to use it and sometimes i didnt know which one i should use!😣😥😲😲

[@carolinazou19]

Thanks

[@DoubleDiction]

can you do a video (even a quick one) that covers the difference between the same characters pronounced differently specifically 了 (le/liao) and 给(gei/ji)?

[@iZenZation]

Awesome.

[@darrenlim5112]

ba structure is very similar to Japanese and Korean phrases where verbs are always located at the end.

[@garyguo7895]

i think so

[@jojjojwana3722]

Thank you so much. can you explain to us about 但是。。。却

[@jingruxiong6999]

我觉得把是为了强调名词，所以把名词提前，把动词甩在最后。

[@healthnfreedom]

不一定 这个句式很神奇 你想强调哪个就重读哪个

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

在使用把的时候，一个常见的场景是出现了大量的补语：结果补语，方向补语等。所以我个人觉得把名词提前，是避免补语太多的情况下，听不清楚名词。所以也是一体两面，即澄清了宾语，又强调了动词和补语。

[@leimar7711]

Thank you for your videos, you explain everything very well. I have a question regarding your last sentence. Why do you write 了我 and not 我了 like in the sentences before? I would assert that using 了after the verb indicates simple past and at the end of the sentence past perfect. So the last sentence would be correct translated. What is right now?

[@ozanemekter2693]

Why hasn't this received an answer? :/ I'm wondering the same thing.

[@ryanshen4115]

in that sentence 了 is to describe 给，not我。i think it a small mistake. it should be: 他/把/一封信/寄给了/我。

[@berke9745]

When there is a measure word in the sentence (in that one its 封), the 了 that expresses past is put right after the verb. Ölçu birimi varsa 了 fiilden sonra kanka

[@Cantersoft]

2:19 *descriptions

[@shraddhaprabhukumar5664]

Very well explained! Is 给 a verb complement? Since it combines with other verbs like in 送给，寄给，etc. Would welcome a clarification!

[@ness576]

A year too late but better late than ever. I hope you found the answer already but I’ll leave it here anyway. 给 works as a preposition when used after a verb, such as the preposition “to” or “with” in English.

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

No it's not, it is a preposition. See my video about 给：kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn20q6SNhJaSqpI&ab_channel=TwinCitiesChineseTutor

I want to ask, I noticed that all the sentences with 把 were in past tense. I want to ask can’t it be in present tense too? Like let’s say 把手给我。

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

Yes, correct

[@woni9834]

It’s not that complicated at all. I just told the students that 把 means doing something to an object. That’s all. And they all understood.

[@e91837]

I think 把 is like have. Ex: I have that table moved away. 我把那張桌子移走了。

[@ChineseGrammarSimplified]

That is one way to look at it as long as it's helpful to you.
