Cool! I knew some things you said, such as thank you, you’re welcome, and of course beautiful. i’m learning chinese mandarin on a language software. I’m confused with some words and sentences, such as past tense, and future tense. Could you help me out?

Hi Dante,

Let me explain the tense to you:

1. past tense the structure is:

Verb + guo4/ le.

Guo/ le are the tense words used after the verb to indicate the tense. Example,

1. zuo2 tian1 wo3 qu4 le/ qu4 guo4 jiu3 ba1= I went to the bar yesterday

As for the future tense, the structure is:

hui4 + Verb, “hui4” is the word used to indicate the “future tense” For examle:

wo3 hui4 qu4 Shanghai = I will go to Shanghai.

Let me know if you have any other questions

Benny
