When you say “I want to go to China” (or any other place) do you put the place in front of the sentence? In other words, “Zhong guo wo yao qu,” instead of “Wo yao qu Zhong guo.” I know somebody who says you need to say it that way and I want to double check with you. Thanks in advance.

Hi Mikazo654, you’re correct, we never say “Bei Jing wo3 yao4 qu4”, we usually put location after the Verb:)

Cheers!
