and how to answer them.
Listen to this exchange.
Mr. Martin,
the Canadian representative in Peking,
is asked if his wife is coming to join him.
你爱人来吗?
他来.
Repeat the verb to come.
来.来.来.
Repeat the sentence,
she's coming.
她来.她来.
In English,
we sometimes talk about future happenings
with present tense verb form.
Similarly in Chinese,
the sentence 她来
can mean he or she is coming now
or he or she is coming later.
Repeat the question,
is your wife coming?
你爱人来吗?
你爱人来吗?
Try responding to the question now.
Assume that you're in Peking
and your spouse is coming to join you.
你爱人来吗?
他来.
What's the verb to come?
来.
Now suppose that your spouse
is already joined you.
Listen.
你爱人来了吗?
来了.她来了.
The marker 了
is used to indicate two things here.
First,
it shows that we're talking about
a completed action.
She came.
And second,
it shows that a new situation
has resulted.
She's here.
Repeat.
Yes, she's come.
来了.她来了.
来了.她来了.
Notice that we use
the whole verb form
that is the verb
and the marker 了
for the short answer yes.
How do you say
yes, she's come?
来了.她来了.
Try responding to the question now.
Assume that your spouse
is joined you.
你爱人来了吗?
来了.她来了.
Here's another question.
Listen.
你孩子也来了吗?
来了.他们都来了.
Repeat.
They all have come.
来了.他们都来了.
Repeat.
Yes, they all have come.
来了.他们都来了.
来了.他们都来了.
Try answering the following
questions about your family.
Assume that your spouse
and children
have now come to Peking.
你爱人来了吗?
来了.她来了.
你孩子呢?
他们也来了吗?
来了.他们都来了.
Again.你爱人来了吗?
来了.她来了.
你孩子呢?
他们也来了吗?
来了.他们都来了.
Now suppose that you've arrived
a few days before your wife.
Listen.
你爱人也来了吗?
她还没来.
You'll notice that even though
this is a negative sentence,
there's no negative adverb不.
When you're talking about a past event,
the negative adverb to use is may.
Repeat, she hasn't come yet.
她还没来.她还没来.
You'll also notice that the marker
lö doesn't show up
in the negative sentence.
Repeat, she hasn't come yet.
她还没来.她还没来.
You've seen that adverbs
such as high precede the verb.
However, they don't always
directly precede the verb.
Some things they go between
the adverb and the verb
like the negative adverb may.
How do you say
she hasn't come yet?
她还没来.
Come responding to the question yourself.
Answer that your wife hasn't come yet.
你爱人也来了吗?
她还没来.
Again,你爱人也来了吗?
她还没来.
The conversation continues.
她什么时候来?
她明天来.
Repeat the word for tomorrow.
明天.明天.明天.
The word 明天
Behaves like other adverbs
you've seen.
It precedes the verb.
Repeat, she's coming tomorrow.
她明天来.她明天来.
You'll notice that once again,
the verb, just as it is,
is used to indicate a future happening.
In this case, of course,
明天 makes it clear
it's a future happening.
How do you say
he or she is coming tomorrow?
她明天来.
Try answering the question now.
Your wife is coming tomorrow.
她什么时候来?
她明天来.
Again,
她什么时候来?
她明天来.
The phrase,
when, is literally what time.
Repeat the word for time.
时候.时候.时候.时候.
You already recognize the word for what.
Repeat the phrase for when.
什么时候?
The question phrase asking when
fills the same slot in the sentence
as the adverb telling when.
In other words,
什么时候?
In the question,
is replaced by明天 in the answer.
As usual,
the word order doesn't change
from question to answer.
Repeat,
when is she coming?
她什么时候来?
她什么时候来?
Try asking the question
ahead of the speaker.
她什么时候来?
Try asking it again.
This time,
we'll get a confirmation
and a reply.
她什么时候来?
她明天来.
Again,
Try answering a few questions
about your wife's travel plan.
She's not in Peking yet.
She's coming tomorrow.
你爱人也来了吗?
她还没来.
她什么时候来?
她明天来.
Again,
你爱人也来了吗?

她什么时候来?
她什么时候来?
她明天来.

a friend of his now.

你朋友什么时候到?
Try asking the question
ahead of the speaker.

Try asking the question
what is your friend arriving?
Again,
this time,
we'll get a confirmation
and a reply.
你朋友什么时候到?
她已经到了.
Repeat the verb already.
已经.
已经.
The adverb已经 emitted like other adverbs
you've seen such as
high and low.
It comes before the verb.
Repeat,
he's already arrived.
她已经到了.
她已经到了.
Now you try responding to the question.
Your friend has already arrived.
你朋友什么时候到?
她已经到了.
Again,
你朋友什么时候到?
她已经到了.
What's the word for yet?
嗨.
What's the word for already?
已经.
Now let's do some more work
and how to ask when.
So far,
you know how to ask
when something is going to happen.
How do you say
when is he coming?
她什么时候来?
Now listen to the speaker
ask when something took place.

You expect to hear

signaling completed action,
