November 23, 2013, 08:41 PMThere are some inconsistencies in the Expansion Sentences.
For example, the passive marker: 成 (bei) is not included in two of the example sentences. I believe that 把 (ba) is substituted.

November 23, 2013, 03:44 AMThe measure word for "ticket" is 张.
I notice in the lesson expansion sentences that 个 is also used.
Is this a case where the measure word rule isn't as strict?

August 18, 2011, 03:47 AM"Fen" = divide or part
"Shou" = hands
And so, to "part hands" makes perfect sense, when describing a break-up.

Some people will complain about anything. How do you say "Get a life" in Chinese ?
