After doing an intensive course for a year I've had the mandarin learning equivalent of writer's cramp for months but this lesson has made a change to that. I hope. There were 5 characters in here that I didn't know yet the first time I listened to it I got very little of it, in fact I thought it was about California. Doh.
One question
今天你老公送你来的?
When is it OK to drop the 吗
今天你老公送你来的 吗? is obviously a question
With no 吗 how do you tell when listening that this is a question rather than a statement, in English intonation would give it away but this doesn't work with Mandarin.? Is it down to context.?
