Lots of function words with their explanation

Excellent site ... thanks for that!

I stumbled into a related Yale site, called: Mandarin Essential Grammar

It's more basic and has pinyin in addition to characters. They even include mp3 audio so that you can listen to example sentences and practice your pronunciation while your at it. It's always nice to hear the way it's supposed to sound. No registration required.

Major topics include:

- Measure Words For Nouns

- Change of State "le" 了

- Perfective –Le 了 Vs Particle Le 了

- ‘Shì ... de’ (是 ... 的) Construction

- Directional Complements

- The Complement Of Degree

- The Complement Of Result

- The Potential Complement

- Bǎ “把”Construction

It looks like a good place for a grammar beginner (such as myself) to start.

This is a good thread, and I hope others add more links to grammar resources, whether beginner or more advanced.
