I’m still a little confuse with constructing long sentences… in

“Liú Xiáng shì shì jiè shàng pǎo de zuì kuài de rén ma?”

Why shì jiè shàng (world) is in the middle of the sentence? Is there any rules in Chinese grammars?

Hi Joy, “shì jiè shàng” means in the world. And the way we use it is to put after “to be” before the “verb or adjective…”

wǒ shì shì jiè shàng zuì hǎo de rén = I am the best person in the world
