- 3. 3 C. Grammar Practice 1. Basic Chinese Sentences • The basic word order is Subject- verb- object. Example: 我是老师。 wǒ shì lǎoshī 他是学生。 tā shì xuéshēng 2. The Pronouns 我 wǒ，你 nǐ， 他 tā • 我 wǒ, 你 nǐ, 他 tā are used as the first person, second person, and third person pronouns. 3. Sentence with 是 shì and 不是 búshì • 是 shì is a verb, means to be, or yes. 不是 búshì is the negative form or no. Example: 我是学生，不是老师。 wǒ shì xuéshēng, bú shì lǎoshī 他是老师，不是学生。 tā shì lǎoshī, bú shì xuéshēng 4. Forming Questions with 吗 ma • The most common way to turn a sentence into a question is to place the particle 吗 ma at the end of the sentence. Example: 你是老师。 nǐ shì lǎoshī . 你是老师吗？ nǐ shì lǎoshī ma? 5. Forming Questions with 呢 ne • The particle 呢 ne is used after a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to turn the sentence into a question that could be translated as “How about_____?” Example: 我是老师，你呢？ wǒ shì lǎoshī, ni ne? 他是学生，你呢？ tā shì xuéshēng, nǐ ne?
