smsmith6 Posted August 25, 2009 at 02:27 AM Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 at 02:27 AM I have a hard time keeping all the uses of 的 straight. I know what this sentence means but how exactly is 的 used here: 听说看电影的人很多。 Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeyah Posted August 25, 2009 at 07:02 AM Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 at 07:02 AM 听说看电影的人很多 Here it's descriptive attributive referring to people>> people who watch movies, "movie-goers". What confuses you is probably the phrase 看电影 (verb+object) preceding 的, but it's just the same as plain 幸福的生活 or 朋友的支持. You may also want to browse through these & here's more on 的 in context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
