<p>Taiwanese Mandarin differs slightly from Mainland Mandarin. A
characteristic of Taiwanese Mandarin is the usage of 有.</p>
<h2 id="completed-verbs">Completed Verbs</h2>
<p>In the Chinese language, there are verbs called “completed
verbs.” These verbs are usually followed by a compliment, as they
are not verbs that are ongoing. This is referring to the past
tense.</p>

</ul>

<h2 id="action-verbs">Action Verbs</h2>
<p>There are also verbs categorized as “action verbs.” In Taiwanese
Mandarin, when 有 is put in front of these verbs, it actually
indicates that the verb is still continuing.</p>

<h2 id="在-after-有">在 after 有</h2>
<p>In Standard Mandarin, using 在 before a verb is the equivalent to
the English –ing. When used with 有 in front of it, it is usually
referring to habitual action, or an action that can be stopped.
This is not in the past tense, but rather a continuing action.</p>
