95560	100440	我从前没来过.
100440	103600	I haven't been here before.
103600	107640	If you had any problems with these sentences, rerun the tape and work on them some more.
107640	112400	If you understood them all, you should begin working on how to ask these questions and how to answer them.
112400	114600	Listen to this exchange.
114600	116240	你做多久?
116240	118360	我住一年.
118360	120840	repeat how long?
120840	123840	多久?
123840	126800	多久?
126800	129600	多久?
129600	131560	The phrase 多久?
131560	134320	how long is similar to the phrase 多大?
134320	135240	how old?
135240	138280	in which 多 is a question word asking how much.
138280	141240	repeat how long are you staying?
141240	145240	你住多久?
145240	148600	你住多久?
148600	152760	You'll notice here that the verb to stay is a single verb 住.
152760	159240	What we've been referring to as the verb 住在 to stay at is actually this verb 住 plus the verb 在.
159240	164720	How do you say how long are you staying?
164720	167840	你住多久?
167840	171160	Try asking the question, how long are you staying again?
171160	175760	This time you'll get a confirmation and a reply.
175760	178000	你住多久?
178000	179800	我住一年.
179800	182360	again.
182360	184440	你住多久?
184440	188200	我住一年.
188200	191800	Unlike most nouns in Chinese, the word for year 年
191800	194160	doesn't need a measure word when used with numbers.
194160	196200	repeat one year.
196200	199000	一年.
199000	201640	一年.
201640	204200	一年.
204200	208120	How would you say four years?
208120	210960	四年.
210960	217400	In English, when someone asks how long, you usually answer with the word for as in I'm staying for a week.
217400	224080	In Chinese, the phrase telling how long follows the verb just as in English, but no extra word like for is needed.
224080	226920	repeat I'm staying for one year.
226920	230680	我住一年.
230680	234400	我住一年.
234400	241840	You'll remember that what we've been calling time phrases such as 明天 tomorrow come before the verb.
241840	245320	他明天来, he's coming tomorrow.
245320	251960	Now you see that what we will call duration phrases such as 一年 one year come after the verb.
251960	255240	我住一年.I'm staying for one year.
255240	258480	It's the difference between when and how long.
258480	262440	When comes before the verb and how long comes after the verb.
262440	268000	How do you say I'm staying one year?
268000	271800	我住一年.
271800	273960	Try answering the question yourself.
273960	276840	Say that you're staying one year.
276840	280960	你住多久?
280960	284400	我住一年.
284400	289240	Again,你住多久?
289240	294280	我住一年.
294280	296200	Mr. King is visiting Hong Kong.
296200	300720	Listen to Mr. King answer a question about it.
300720	303080	你太太住多久?
303080	305560	她住两天.
305560	310840	The word for day, 天, like the word for year, 年, doesn't need a measure word
310840	312120	when used with numbers.
312120	314040	Repeat two days.
314040	317120	两天.
317120	320480	两天.
320480	323200	两天.
323200	326240	Repeat she's staying two days.
326240	330120	她住两天.
330120	333320	她住两天.
333320	335960	Now let's suppose that your wife is visiting Hong Kong.
335960	337560	She's staying there two days.
337560	339560	Try answering the next question.
339560	344360	你太太住多久?
344360	346880	她住两天.
346880	351680	Again,你太太住多久?
351680	354640	她住两天.
354640	357680	What's the word for day?
357680	359680	天.
359680	362360	What's the word for year?
362360	365280	年.
365280	369520	Mr. King could have been asked about his wife's trip to Hong Kong in a more detailed way.
369520	371400	Listen.

388960	392640	In the question, how long is your wife staying in Hong Kong?
392640	395280	你太太在香港住多久?
395280	399800	The place phrase,在香港, is put before the verb 住.
399800	403280	We can't put both the place and the duration after the verb.
403280	407080	Repeat, how long is your wife staying in Hong Kong?
407080	413480	你太太在香港住多久?
413480	417000	你太太在香港住多久?

521560	524920	The verb想 can mean to think that.

709320	712320	You're being asked some questions about a trip of yours.
712320	717320	You're thinking of staying three weeks in Taipei and ten days in Hong Kong.
717320	722320	你想在台湾住多久?
722320	725320	我想住三个星期.

742320	746320	在香港呢?
746320	750320	我想住十天.
750320	753320	So far you've expressed how long with future activities only.
753320	757320	But what if you want to express how long something has taken so far?
757320	759320	How long it's going to be going on?
759320	762320	你来了多久了?
762320	765320	我来了三天了.
765320	770320	The first look coming right after the verb indicates completion of action.
770320	771320	I have come.
771320	775320	And the second look coming at the end of the sentence indicates the change up to the present.
775320	777320	It's three days now.
777320	778320	Repeat.
778320	780320	I've been here for three days.
780320	785320	我来了三天了.
785320	788320	我来了三天了.
788320	794320	The double look construction is used when you're talking about an action started in the past and still going on.
794320	799320	How do you say I've been here three days?
799320	803320	我来了三天了.
803320	805320	Try responding to the question.

817320	822320	你来了多久了?
822320	827320	我来了三天了.
827320	828320	Let's review a bit.
828320	831320	Duration phrases go after the verb.
831320	835320	To talk about the duration of something still going on, use two laws.
835320	838320	One right after the verb and one at the end of the sentence.
838320	842320	Try putting the following English sentences into Chinese.
842320	847320	I've been here three months.
847320	850320	我来了三个月了.
850320	854320	I'm staying one year.

880320	885320	I'm thinking of staying four months.
885320	888320	我想住四个月.
888320	892320	I've been here for three weeks.
892320	897320	我来了三个星期了.
897320	900320	If you want to talk about how long something lasted in the past,
900320	902320	that is the duration of something completed,
902320	904320	you use a different pattern.
904320	907320	Listen as Mr. King talks about his wife staying in Hong Kong.
907320	910320	She's back in Taiwan now.
910320	913320	你太太在香港住了多久?
913320	915320	她住了两天.
915320	918320	There's only one marker Lu in this sentence.
918320	920320	We're talking about completed action here.
920320	922320	The activity is no longer happening.
922320	925320	There's no need for the new situation Lu at the end of the sentence.
925320	928320	Repeat, she stayed two days.
928320	933320	她住了两天.
933320	938320	她住了两天.
938320	941320	To indicate that you're talking about the duration of something that is over,
941320	942320	no longer happening,
942320	945320	place the marker Lu directly after the verb.
945320	951320	How do you say she stayed two days?
951320	955320	她住了两天.
955320	958320	I'm responding to a question about your wife staying in Hong Kong.
958320	961320	Say she stayed two days.
961320	966320	你太太在香港住了多久?
966320	970320	她住了两天.
970320	972320	Again,
972320	978320	你太太在香港住了多久?
978320	981320	她住了两天.
981320	984320	In this next exchange someone is talking about his trip
984320	986320	and how long he stayed in each place.
986320	988320	Listen.
988320	990320	你在台北住了多久?
990320	992320	我住了三个星期.
992320	994320	在香港呢?
994320	997320	我住了十天.
997320	998320	Now you try it.
998320	1001320	Say that you stayed in Taipei for three weeks
1001320	1003320	and in Hong Kong for ten days.
1003320	1007320	你在台北住了多久?
1007320	1010320	我住了三个星期.
1010320	1014320	在香港呢?
1014320	1016320	我住了十天.
1016320	1018320	Try it again.
1018320	1022320	你在台北住了多久?
1022320	1024320	我住了三个星期.
1024320	1028320	在香港呢?
1028320	1033320	我住了十天.
1033320	1035320	Now two of you said this which talk about how long
1035320	1038320	either for future events or events which are still taking place
1038320	1041320	or events which are completely in the past.
1041320	1043320	I'll give you some English sentences
1043320	1044320	and you put them into Chinese.
1044320	1046320	Let's start.

1101320	1102320	Listen.
1102320	1103320	他来了吗?
1103320	1106320	来了.他来了.
1106320	1108320	Earlier in this module,
1108320	1109320	we said 他来了.
1109320	1111320	means she's come.
1111320	1114320	Where the marker 喽 is interpreted as both the completed action marker
1114320	1116320	and the new situation marker.
1116320	1119320	But there's another way to interpret this sentence.
1119320	1120320	And that's with only one 喽.
1120320	1122320	the completed action marker.
1122320	1126320	In this case,the sentence 他来了 is interpreted as
1126320	1129320	she did come the action being over.
1129320	1132320	Let's say that you had a party at your place a week ago.
1132320	1135320	Now a friend who couldn't make it is asking who did come.
1135320	1137320	The person she's asking about did come.
1137320	1142320	Answer the question 他来了吗?
1142320	1146320	来了.他来了.
1146320	1149320	Now she asks about someone who didn't come.
1149320	1151320	林小姐来了吗?
1151320	1154320	没来.她没来.
1154320	1158320	As you remember,the advert May negates actions in the past.
1158320	1161320	Repeat,no,she didn't come.
1161320	1166320	没来.她没来.
1166320	1169320	没来.她没来.
1169320	1171320	Try answering the question yourself.
1171320	1174320	Miss Lin didn't come.
1174320	1178320	林小姐来了吗?
1178320	1181320	没来.她没来.
1181320	1186320	Again.林小姐来了吗?
1186320	1189320	没来.她没来.
1189320	1191320	Now let's turn to another topic.
1191320	1194320	Listen.你从前来过吗?
1194320	1197320	我从前没来过.
1197320	1200320	Repeat the word for formerly or before.
1200320	1205320	从前.从前.
1205320	1208320	从前.
1208320	1210320	As with other adverbs telling when,
1210320	1213320	the word从前 goes before the verb.
1213320	1216320	Repeat,have you ever been here before?
1216320	1220320	你从前来过吗?
1220320	1224320	你从前来过吗?
1224320	1229320	The marker 过 after the verb lie carries the meaning of having ever had the experience of.
1229320	1231320	It directly follows the verb.
1231320	1234320	Repeat,have you ever been here before?
1234320	1240320	你从前来过吗?
1240320	1242320	Try asking the question yourself.
1242320	1247320	You get a confirmation and a reply.
1247320	1249320	你从前来过吗?
1249320	1254320	我从前没来过.Again.
1254320	1256320	你从前来过吗?
1256320	1259320	我从前没来过.
1259320	1264320	Notice that negating a sentence with 过 adds 没 before the verb and keeps the 过.
1264320	1270320	While,as you remember,the negation of a sentence with 了 adds 没 before the verb and drops the 了.
1270320	1273320	Repeat,I've never been here before.
1273320	1281320	我从前没来过.
1281320	1283320	Try responding to the question yourself.
1283320	1285320	Say that you've never been here before.
1285320	1288320	你从前来过吗?
1288320	1294320	我从前没来过.Again.
1294320	1298320	你从前来过吗?
