Looks good to me, Fei. I like 'reflect before you act' as a concept! Katharine -----Original Message----- From: Mandarin Chinese Teaching [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Fei Gao Sent: 10 October 2007 15:23 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: how would you explain this please? When we say place before verb, we mean 'reflect before you act'. where you are giong to, how you get there, who are you going with, when etc etc all have to be dealt with before the verb. hence 'wo zai beijing shangxue'. The other sentence is about 'guo'. the pattern is verb+guo+whatever (which means you have had the experience of doing sth) so it doesn't matter if it is 'ni chi guo kaoya ma?' or 'ni qu guo beijing ma?' Hope it helps. not sure if i have explained myself. gao fei > Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:39:38 +0100 > From: [log in to unmask] > Subject: how would you explain this please? > To: [log in to unmask] > > recently I've been teaching 2 phrases: 你去(verb)过北京(place)吗？ and > 我在北京(place)上学(verb) and I explanied to the students that generally > PLACE is before VERB.
