1. Basic Sentence Structure (SVO) | 基本语序公式（主谓宾）
The foundation of Chinese syntax is Subject–Verb–Object, very similar to English. The formula is: S + V + O. However, Chinese often omits the subject when it is understood from context, especially in spoken responses. Always check whether your sentence includes a clear doer of the action.
中文句法的基础是主语–谓语–宾语，与英语非常相似。公式为：主语 + 动词 + 宾语。不过，中文在上下文明确时常常省略主语，尤其是口语应答中。务必检查句子是否包含了清晰的动作发出者。
- 我 爱 中文。 (S–V–O)
- 他 看 电视。 (He watches TV.)
- (你) 吃 饭 了 吗？ (Subject omitted: Have you eaten?)
2. Time and Place Placement | 时间地点状语公式
In Chinese, time and place always come before the verb, never at the end of the sentence as they often do in English. The fixed order is: Subject + Time + Place + Verb (+ Object). Think of it as moving from the largest to the smallest context before stating the action.
中文中，时间与地点总是放在动词之前，绝不能像英语那样放在句末。固定顺序是：主语 + 时间 + 地点 + 动词（+宾语）。你可以理解为在陈述动作之前，先由大到小交代背景。
- 我 昨天 在图书馆 看 书。 (Yesterday I read a book in the library.)
- 他 每天 在家 吃 早饭。 (He eats breakfast at home every day.)
3. The 把 (bǎ) Construction | 把字句公式
The 把-construction is used when the subject does something to a specific object, often resulting in a change of state. The formula is: Subject + 把 + Object + Verb + Complement. You cannot use 把 with indefinite objects (e.g. "a book" when unknown) – the object must be definite or already mentioned.
当主语对特定宾语施加一个动作、并常常导致状态改变时，需使用“把”字句。公式为：主语 + 把 + 宾语 + 动词 + 补语。不能把不定指宾语（如未知的“一本书”）用在“把”字句中——宾语必须是确指的或已提过的。
- 我 把 杯子 打 破 了。 (I broke the cup.)
- 请 把 作业 写 完。 (Please finish the homework.)
4. The 被 (bèi) Passive | 被字句公式
The 被 structure marks the passive voice. Use it when the receiver of the action is more prominent than the doer. Formula: Receiver + 被 + (Agent) + Verb + Complement. The agent can be omitted if it is unknown or unimportant. 被 is more formal; in spoken Chinese, 让 or 叫 can replace 被 but must always include an agent.
“被”字结构标示被动语态。当动作的承受者比发出者更为突出时使用。公式：承受者 + 被 +（施动者）+ 动词 + 补语。施动者若未知或不重要可以省略。“被”较正式；口语中“让”或“叫”可替代“被”，但必须带出施动者。
- 我的电脑 被 (人) 偷走了。 (My computer was stolen.)
- 蛋糕 被 弟弟 吃完了。 (The cake was eaten up by my younger brother.)
5. Verb + 了 / 着 / 过 Aspect Markers | 动态助词公式
Aspect markers indicate the state of an action, not the tense. The three essentials are: Verb + 了 (completion), Verb + 着 (continuation/state), Verb + 过 (experience). Remember, 了 is not a past tense marker – it signals that an action has been completed or a change has occurred. In a negation, you must drop 了 for 没(有).
动态助词标示动作的状态，而非时态。三个基本公式：动词 + 了（完成），动词 + 着（持续/状态），动词 + 过（经历）。记住，“了”不是过去时标记——它表示动作已经完成或情况发生了变化。否定句中，必须用“没(有)”并去掉“了”。
- 我 吃了 早饭。 (I have eaten breakfast.)
- 门 开着。 (The door is open.)
- 他 去过 中国。 (He has been to China.)
- 我 没(有) 吃 早饭。 (I did not eat breakfast.)
6. Complements of Result and Direction | 结果补语与趋向补语公式
Complements add precision. A result complement (Verb + 完/懂/到/好…) shows the outcome of an action. A direction complement (Verb + 来/去 or 上来/下去/回来…) indicates movement. The simplest pattern is: Verb + Result/Direction. For potential forms, insert 得/不 between verb and complement.
补语让表达更精确。结果补语（动词+完/懂/到/好…）表示动作的结果。趋向补语（动词+来/去 或 上来/下去/回来…）指明动作的方向。最简单公式是：动词 + 结果/趋向。可能式则在动词和补语之间插入“得”或“不”。
- 看完、写好、听懂 (result)
- 走进来、拿回去 (direction)
- 看得见 / 看不见 (potential: can/cannot see)
7. 是...的 Emphasis Structure | 是…的强调公式
To emphasise a past action's time, place, or manner, use 是 … 的. The formula is: Subject + 是 + (Time/Place/Manner) + Verb + 的 (+ Object). This is extremely useful in speaking tasks when answering questions like “你是怎么来的？” Note that 是 is often optional, but 的 at the end is almost always required.
要强调过去动作的时间、地点或方式，使用“是 … 的”结构。公式：主语 + 是 +（时间/地点/方式）+ 动词 + 的（+宾语）。在口语任务中极其有用，例如回答“你是怎么来的？”注意，“是”常可省略，但句末“的”几乎必不可少。
- 我 (是) 昨天 到 的。 (It was yesterday that I arrived.)
- 他 (是) 坐火车 来 的。 (He came by train.)
8. Comparative Structures | 比较句公式
Comparison formulas appear frequently in the writing paper. Master these three: A 比 B + Adjective (A is more Adj than B); A 没有 B (+ 这么/那么) + Adjective (A is not as Adj as B); A 跟 B 一样 (+ Adjective) (A is the same as B or A is as Adj as B). For specific differences, add the measure after the adjective: A 比 B + Adjective + Number + Measure.
比较句公式在写作卷中出现频率极高。掌握以下三种：A 比 B + 形容词（A 比 B 更……）；A 没有 B（+ 这么/那么）+ 形容词（A 不如 B……）；A 跟 B 一样（+ 形容词）（A 和 B 相同）。要表示具体差异，可在形容词后加数量补语：A 比 B + 形容词 + 数量短语。
- 中国 比 英国 大。 (China is bigger than the UK.)
- 我的中文 没有 他 那么好。 (My Chinese is not as good as his.)
- 这件衣服 跟 那件 一样 贵。 (This piece of clothing is as expensive as that one.)
- 哥哥 比 我 大 三 岁。 (My older brother is three years older than me.)
9. Topic-Comment Sentences | 主题述语句公式
Chinese often puts the topic at the very beginning, separate from the subject. The formula is: Topic, + Subject + Verb + Object. This pattern is perfect for making suggestions or commenting on a broader category. It is extremely natural in spoken Chinese and will make your speaking exam responses more idiomatic.
中文经常把话题放在句首，与主语分开。公式为：话题，+ 主语 + 动词 + 宾语。这个句式非常适合提出建议或对某一整体范畴进行评论。它在口语中极为自然，能让你的口语考试回答更为地道。
- 水果， 我 最喜欢 西瓜。 (As for fruit, I like watermelon the most.)
- 作业， 我 已经 写完了。 (As for the homework, I have already finished it.)
10. Modal Verb Formulas | 能愿动词搭配公式
Modal verbs such as 想, 要, 会, 可以, 应该 always precede the main verb and never take aspect markers like 了 directly (unless at the end of the sentence). The pattern is: Subject + Modal Verb + Verb (+ Object). For negatives, place 不 before the modal, except for 不要/别 (negative imperative). Pay attention to the subtle differences: 能 (ability/possibility) vs 会 (learned skill/future) vs 可以 (permission).
能愿动词如“想、要、会、可以、应该”必须放在主要动词前面，且通常不能直接带“了”等动态助词（除非在句末）。搭配公式：主语 + 能愿动词 + 动词（+ 宾语）。否定式将“不”放在能愿动词前，但“不要/别”用于否定祈使。注意细微差别：“能”（能力/可能）、“会”（习得技能/将来）、“可以”（允许）。
- 我 想 去 北京。 (I want to go to Beijing.)
- 你 不能 在 这里 抽烟。 (You cannot smoke here.)
- 弟弟 会 游 泳。 (My younger brother can swim.)
11. Cohesive Devices for Writing | 写作衔接词公式
For the writing tasks, transitional phrases are like glue. Use three-level formulas: First ... Second ... Last ... (首先……其次……最后……); Reason + 所以 Result (because ... therefore); 虽然 ... 但是 ... (although ... yet); 不但 ... 而且 ... (not only ... but also). A well-structured essay will use at least five of these connectors appropriately.
在写作任务中，过渡词就像胶水。使用三层公式：首先……其次……最后……（列举）；因为……所以……（因果）；虽然……但是……（转折）；不但……而且……（递进）。一篇结构清晰的文章应至少恰当地使用五种此类连接词。
| Function | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Sequence | 首先……其次……最后…… | 首先，学习很重要；其次，健康也很关键。 |
| Cause-Effect | 因为……所以…… | 因为他努力，所以他成功了。 |
| Concession | 虽然……但是…… | 虽然下雨，但是我还是去了。 |
| Addition | 不但……而且…… | 他不但聪明，而且勤奋。 |
12. Question Formation Rules | 问句构造公式
Questions in Chinese rely on fixed patterns rather than word order inversion. The three key formulas are: Statement + 吗？ (yes/no); Verb + 不 + Verb? (positive-negative); and QW + Statement? (question-word, where the question word stays in-situ, not moved to the front). For exam responses, especially in role plays, practice reusing the key verb from the question.
中文问句依赖固定模式而非语序倒装。三个关键公式：陈述句 + 吗？（是非问）；动词 + 不 + 动词？（正反问）；疑问词 + 陈述句？（特指问，疑问词保持原位，不需前移）。在考试应答中，尤其是角色扮演，练习重复使用问句里的核心动词。
- 你 忙 吗？ (Are you busy?)
- 你 喜不喜欢 这件？ (Do you like this or not?)
- 你 去 哪儿？ (Where are you going?) – Note 哪儿 stays at the end.
13. Measure Words: Precise Counting | 量词语配公式
Chinese nouns almost always require a measure word between a numeral/demonstrative and the noun. The universal formula is: Number + Measure Word + Noun. The generic 个 can be a lifesaver, but exam success demands accuracy: 一张纸, 一本书, 一杯水, 一条裤子. For writing tasks, using the correct measure word shows higher linguistic competence.
中文名词在数词或指示词与名词之间几乎总需要量词。通用公式：数词 + 量词 + 名词。通用量词“个”可以救急，但考试高分需要准确：一张纸、一本书、一杯水、一条裤子。在写作任务中，使用正确的量词能体现更高的语言能力。
- 两 张 票 (two tickets)
- 这 件 衣服 (this piece of clothing)
- 一 只 猫 (a cat)
14. Expressing Changes with 了 | 变化态“了”公式
Besides completion, sentence-final 了 indicates that a situation has changed. The formula is: New Situation + 了. Use it when announcing a change of state, weather, or intention. In writing, avoid using both verbal 了 and sentence-final 了 in the same short clause unless you truly need both completion and change.
除了表示完成，句末“了”还表示情况发生了变化。公式：新状况 + 了。当宣布状态、天气或打算发生改变时使用。写作中，避免在同一个短句里同时使用动词后“了”和句末“了”，除非确实需要同时表达完成和变化。
- 下雨 了。 (It is raining now – it wasn't before.)
- 我 不去 了。 (I am not going anymore – changed plan.)
- 他 高 了。 (He has become taller.)
