16.2.3 Reference Notes
16.2.3.1 Notes on №1
1. | A: | 你住多久? | How long are you staying? | |
B: | 我住一年。 | I’m staying one year. |
Expressions like
, “how long,” and “one year,” called duration phrases, come after the verb.“One day” is
. The tone on changes to Falling before a High-tone.When are you leaving? | ||||
How long are you staying? |
If a duration phrase is used with the verb
, this phrase preempts the position after the verb; and any place phrase, like , must come before the verb.I’m l living in | .||||
How long are you staying in | ?
: In telling how many years (giving an amount) no counter is used. The tone on , “one,” changes to Falling before a Rising tone.
16.2.3.2 Notes on №2
2. | A: | 你太太住多久? | How long is your wife staying? | |
B: | 她住兩天。 | She is staying two days. |
: , “day,” like , “year,” is used without a counter. When telling how many of something, the number 2 takes the form . (See Unit 3, notes on Nos. 3–4.)
16.2.3.3 Notes on №3–4
3. | A: | 你太太在香港住多久? | How long is your wife staying in Hong Kong? | |
B: | 我想她住兩天。 | I think she is staying two days. | ||
4. | A: | 你想住多久? | How long are you thinking of staying? | |
B: | 我想住一年。 | I’m thinking of staying one year. |
The verb
, “to think that,” “to want to,” “would like to,” may be used as a main verb or as an auxiliary verb. As a main verb it means “to think that.” It is used this way in the answer of exchange 3 and in the following examples.I think he is coming tomorrow. | |
I think he is not going. |
When
is used as a main verb meaning “to think that,” it is not made negative. This may be a special problem for English speakers who are used to saying “I don’t think he is going.”In Chinese, it is: “I think he is not going,”
When
is used as an auxiliary verb, it means, “to want to,” “would like to.” It is used this way in exchange 4, which could also be translated as, “How long would you like to stay?”Here are other examples:
Would you like to leave? OR Do you want to go? | |
I don’t want to leave. | |
Do you want to work in Taipei? |
16.2.3.4 Notes on №5–6
5. | A: | 你想在臺灣住多久? | How long are you thinking of staying in Taiwan? | |
B: | 我想住八個月。 | I’m thinking of staying eight months. | ||
6. | A: | 你朋友想住多久? | How long is your friend thinking of staying? | |
B: | 他想住兩個星期。 | He is thinking of staying two weeks. |
You already know that
and are used without counters. The words for “month” and “week,” however, are used with counters.Compare:
3 days | |
3 years | |
3 weeks | |
3 months |
16.2.3.5 Notes on №7
7. | A: | 你來了多久了? | How long have you been there? | |
B: | 我來了三天了。 | I have been here three days. |
, “up until now,” “so far”: The use of completed-action after the verb and of new-situation after the duration phrase tells you how long the activity has been going on and that it is still going on. The answer could also have been translated “I have been here three days so far.” This pattern is sometimes called “double .”
Notice that when
is in the middle of a sentence (in this case, because it is followed by a duration phrase), we write it attached to the verb before it:16.2.3.6 Notes on №8
8. | A: | 你太太在香港住了多久? | How long did your wife stay in Hong Kong? | |
B: | 她住了兩天。 | She stayed two days. |
Completion
: Here you see the marker used to indicate one aspect, completion. Compare a sentence with one le to a sentence with two ’s:I stayed there three days. | |
I have been here (stayed here) for three days now (so far). |
Completion
is used with verbs that describe actions or processes, not with verbs that describe a state or condition, or a continuing situation. The following sentences, describing states or ongoing situations, have past-tense verbs in English but no in Chinese.At that time they had only two children. | |
He wasn’t in | last year; he was in .
Verb types in Chinese: In studying some languages, it is important to learn whether a noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter. In Chinese, it is important to learn whether a verb is an action, state, or process verb. These three verb categories are meaning (semantic) groups. A verb is a member of one group or another depending on the meaning of the verb. For instance, “running” and “dancing” are actions; “being good” and “being beautiful” are states; and “getting sick” and “melting” are processes. In Chinese, grammatical rules are applied differently to each semantic verb category. For the most part, you have learned only action and state verbs in this course; so these comments will be confined to those two verb categories. (See Unit 8 of this module for process verbs,)
Action verbs: These are verbs which describe physical and mental activities. The easiest to classify are verbs of movement such as “walking,” “running,” and “riding”, however, action verbs also include verbs with not too much motion, such as “working” and “writing,” and verbs with no apparent motion, such as “studying.” One test for determining if a verb is an action is asking “What did he do?” “He arrived,” “He spoke,” and “He listened” are answers which contain action verbs. “He knew” “He wanted” and “He is here” are answers which contain state verbs, not action verbs. Some of the action verbs you have learned are:
(to arrive) | (to come) |
(to work) | (to live, to stay) |
State verbs: These verbs describe qualities, conditions, and states. All adjectival verbs, such as
“to be good,” and , “to be long (in time),” are state verbs. Emotions, such as “being happy” and “being sad,” are expressed with state verbs. “Knowing,” “liking,” “wanting,” and “understanding,” which may be called mental states, are also expressed with state verbs. Also, all auxiliary verbs, such as , “to want to,” “would like to,” are state verbs. Here are some of the state verbs:to be large | to be |
to be correct | to be called |
to be surnamed | to be at |
to want to | to know |
Aspect and verb types: Not every aspect marker in Chinese may be used with all types of verbs. Completion
does not occur with state verbs. It does occur with action verbs.ACTION | He has already arrived. | |
He worked one year. | ||
Did he come? | ||
STATE | He wasn’t here last year. | |
Yesterday he wanted to go. | ||
He didn’t know yesterday. |
16.2.3.7 Notes on №9–10
9. | A: | 他來了嗎? | Did he come? | |
B: | 來了,他來了。 | Yes, he came. | ||
10. | A: | 他來了嗎? | Did he come? | |
B: | 沒來,他沒來。 | No, he didn’t come. |
Compare the two possible interpretations of the question
and the answers they receive:Completion | |||||

She came. | |||||
She didn’t come. |
Combined | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Has he come? | ||||||
She has come. OR She’s here. | ||||||
She hasn’t come yet. |
The first question, with completion
, asks only if the action took place. The second question, with combined asks both whether the action has been completed and whether the resulting new situation still exists.16.2.3.8 Notes on №11
11. | A: | 你從前來過嗎? | Have you ever been here before? | |
B: | 我從前沒來過。 | I have never been here before. |
The aspect marker
means literally “to pass over,” “to cross over. The implication is that an event took place and then ceased at some time in the past.It may help you to conceptualize
in terms of a bridge. The whole bridge is the event. The marker stresses the fact that not only have you crossed over the bridge but at present you are no longer standing on it.The meaning of
changes slightly depending on what type of verb it is used with: action or process, ( may not be used with state verbs.) With an action verb, means that the action took place and then ceased at some time before the present. With a process verb, means that the process took place and that the state which resulted from the process ended at some time before the present.Remember that aspect markers like
and are used only when the speaker feels it necessary to stress some feature or aspect of an event. is used to stress finishing, or completion, is used to stress that a situation occurred in the past and was “over” or “undone,” before the time of speaking (that is, the absence of that situation followed the situation).Let’s contrast
with completion : both and express completion, but stresses that an action is no longer being performed, or that a state resulting from a process no longer exists.For example,
means “He came,” or “He has come,” not indicating whether or not he is still there.But
means “He came” with the specification that he is not there anymore–that is, he came and left.One of the uses of the aspect marker
,is in sentences which express experience or having experienced something at least once in the past, that is, “to have had the experience of doing something.” This is how is used in exchange 11. In a question, the marker can he reflected by the English word “ever,” and in a negative statement by “never.”Have you ever been (come) here before? | ||||||
I have never been (come) here before. | ||||||
I have been (come) here before |
The negative of
does not include a , but the negative of does have a . The negative adverb is used to negate both completion and .16.3 Drills
