New Members partner55083777 Posted February 18, 2013 at 01:47 PM New Members Report Posted February 18, 2013 at 01:47 PM I've just started studying Chinese using the sentence pack from iKnow. I've come across this sentence that I don't understand: 我们在家里过周末。 我們在家里過周末。 Wǒmen zài jiāli guò zhōumò. We spend the weekends at home. All of the grammar explanations I could find seem to say that 过 is used to "indicate completion" (as in like, "I have drank tea") and it always immediately follows the verb. In this case, 过 appears not to follow the verb, but I couldn't find any other example sentences that match up with this? Could anyone help me out with this one? Why am I not able to find a grammatical structure similar to this on the net or in any grammar books? Quote
skylee Posted February 19, 2013 at 10:25 AM Report Posted February 19, 2013 at 10:25 AM Here 過 itself is the verb. PS - it means to pass (time). Take a look -> http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=worddict&wdrst=1&wdqb=%E9%81%8E 1 Quote
