Multiple Choice

食堂 shí táng

• library

• book store

• dining hall, cafeteria

• restroom

Grammar: 去 qù：go to (1)

qù + a place word means “go to [a place].” For instance, if you want to say “go to a dining hall” you can say qù shítáng. More examples:

去书店 qù shūdiàn go (to a) bookstore

去卫生间 qù wèi shēng jiān go (to the) restroom

去北京大学 qù Bĕijīng Dàxué go (to) Peking University

去清华大学 qù Qīng huá Dà xué go (to) Tsinghua University

Multiple Choice

• go to restroom

Multiple Choice

去书店 qù shūdiàn

• go to library

• go to book store

• go to dining hall, cafeteria

• go to restroom

Grammar: 去 qù：go to (2)

qù + a verb phrase indicates purpose (going to [do something]). For instance qù măi yìdiănr dōngxi means “I’m going to buy a few things.” More examples:

去买咖啡 qù măi kāfēi go buy coffee

去吃饭 qù chīfàn go eat

去上班 qù shàngbān go (to) work

Grammar: 去 qù：go to (3) ask where to go

Form a question in Chinese by replacing the subject of your inquiry (e.g., shítáng or “dining hall” in the sentence Tā qù shítáng or “He is going to the dining hall”) with the corresponding question word such as “Where?” Thus the sentence becomes Tā qù năr?

他去哪儿？ Tā qù năr?

高志安去哪儿？Gāo Zhì’ān qù năr?  (Where is Gao Zhi’an going?)

李阳去哪儿？Lĭ Yáng qù năr? (Where is Li Yang going?)

• xiăng: would like to

• qĭng: please / wèn: ask

• wèn tí: question

Grammar：

The descriptive –de is used to show the affiliation of the preceding words and what follows. These phrases should be said without any pause in your speech. For example:

Wŏ shì Qīnghuá Dàxuéde xuésheng. I am a student of Tsinghua University.

Tā shì Niǔyuē Dàxuéde xuésheng. He/She is a student of New York University.

Gāo Zhì’ān shì Lìshĭ xì de xuésheng. Gao Zhi’an a student in the History Department.

Chén Lǎoshī shì Zhōngwén xì de Lǎoshī. Teacher Chen is a teacher in the Chinese Department.

  Wǒ shì Diamond minds de xuéshēng.

• 我是Diamond minds学生。

  Wǒ shì Diamond minds xuéshēng.

• 我的Diamond Minds学生。

  Wǒ de Diamond Minds xuéshēng.

Open Ended

I'm a student of Diamond Minds. (Type Pinyin without Tones.)

Grammar: The Verb Yŏu = “Have”

This verb means “have.” "I have a question" would be Wŏ yŏu wèntí. Other examples include:

Nĭ yŏu Zhōngwén míngzi ma? Do you have a Chinese name?

你有事吗？ Nĭ yŏu shìr ma? / Nĭ yŏu shì ma? Can I help you? ("事 shì": thing；different from "是 shì" to be )

Zhāng lăoshī yŏu Mĕiguó xuésheng ma? Does Professor Zhang have American students?

Open Ended

Can I help you? (Type in Pinyin)

Grammar: The Auxiliary Verb Xiăng = “Would like to”

It is often used when a speaker of lower social status makes a request to someone of higher social level. Xiăng is appropriate to use in this situation as the student has a question for his teacher.

Wŏ xiăng qĭng wèn nín yíge wèntí. I would like to ask you a question.

Wŏ xiăng qù wèn Zhāng Lăoshī yíge wèntí. I would like to go and ask Professor Zhang a question.

Xiăng can also be used to express one's wishes or plans. It needs to be followed by a verb phrase. For example:

Wŏ xiăng xué Zhōngguó lìshĭ. I want to study Chinese history.

Wŏ xiăng qù Zhōngguó. I want to go to China.

Open Ended

I would like to ask Ms Julia a question: (Type in Pinyin)

Open Ended

Open Ended

Make another sentence with Wŏ xiăng:

Grammar Nín

Nín is used to address people of higher status, such as lăoshī (teacher) or jīnglĭ (manager). Notice that nín, like other pronouns in Chinese, can function both as a subject, e.g., nín hăo (polite form of “Hello”) and as an object e.g., wèn nín (ask you).

Zhāng jiàoshòu, nín hăo. Hello, Professor Zhang.

Wáng xiáojie, nín hăo mā? Ms Wang, how are you?

Wŏ xiăng qĭng wèn nín yíge wèntí. I would like to ask you a question.

Tā jiào nín Lĭ jiàoshòu ma? Does he call you Professor Li?

Open Ended

I would like to ask you a question. (Type in Pinyin)

Grammar: qĭng

Chinese people frequently use “qĭng + verb” pattern to make their request more polite, especially to people of higher social status. Qĭng wèn (Please ask) sounds more polite than simply saying wèn. More examples:

Qĭng zuò. Please be seated.

Qĭng jìn. Please come in.

Qǐng zài shuō yībiàn. Please say it again.

Qĭng jiào tā Lĭ Jiàoshòu. Please call him/her Professor Li.
