Posted on: The 5 "W" Questions
April 26, 2019 at 2:22 AM

Hi yingyue, yes you can move the subject without changing the meaning in this sentence. When someone asks you a "为什么" question, you can answer by saying "因为"(Because...) and then state your reason.

Adding a 好吗 at the end of the sentence does soften the tone!

A not A structure focuses on "whether or not", basically it offers two options: yes or no, while 吗 questions imply the same thing without being as direct.

Hi Gavin,

This lesson belongs to Qinwen series, which does not have a dialogue, sorry about that.

Hi Gavin,

又 and 在 both follow the basic structure of Subj. +又/再 + Verb (you can add other elements like obj. but the order always stays the same).

Thank you for the suggestion! In this series, we focus on the characters and their expanded vocabulary, that's why we didn't put sample sentences in the lesson.

Hi yingyue, 

Sorry we don't have vocabulary and exercise for this lesson because it focuses on the tones instead of a dialogue.

Hi yingyue, we've removed the vocabulary review page. Thank you for pointing it out.

Posted on: Chinese Idioms - Lower than a pig or dog

Here's some example sentences to help you understand these two idioms better:

他做了那么多坏事,真是猪狗不如(tā zuòle5 nàme5duō huàishì, zhēnshì zhūgǒubùrú!)

He's done so many horrible things, he's worse than pigs or dogs.

教室里被他搞得鸡犬不宁(jiàoshìlǐ bèi tā gǎode jīquǎnbùníng)

He left the classroom in a mess.

If you would click the 'Vocab" and "Dialogue" tabs, you will find characters in simplified version!
