Participle

Modern Chinese grammatical system need to have a particular form that would allow actions or verbs to express various progresses of the state in each situation; therefore, it needs a particle to be added to the sentence to achieve this need. Chinese grammar is not similar to English grammar, in which English can add -ing onto the end of a verb to show the ongoing state of an action. Chinese has many particles such as le, zhe, guo that are being used in the sentences to add aspectual values to the attached verbs in the sentences. Even though aspect particles express different action of beings, “There is agreement that they do not relate the situation described by the sentence to the time of utterance but express various perspectives on the situation; hence, they express various aspect rather than tense relations, and are often called aspect particles or markers” (qtd. in Klein et al. 723). Zhe is an aspect particle, and it is always being added to the end of a verb to show different consequences it would result in throughout its interaction with different verb expressions. Understanding the different types and usages of zhe would help us to interpret the precise meaning of the sentences. The first type of zhe is not designated to show the actions in the sentences, instead, it is being used to show the existence of a given object even though a verb is used in front of zhe. In such sentences, zhe must be used after the verb to emphasize a sustained or continuous state. For…

I used to be a staunch prescriptivist. I used to think if anyone, ever, would want to read you writing it needed to be written according to the rules of Standard Written English. And I still think it is necessary for most everyone. Students should be taught SWE as it is the expected and most readily understood by all. Teachers will give higher grades, generally, for assignments written using formal conventions and businesses will expect the writing to follow the grammar rules set by…
