Maria86 Posted October 9, 2015 at 11:14 AM Report Posted October 9, 2015 at 11:14 AM Hi, Did I understood sentence right 上月我们学校里选举 (last month in our school elections were held out), becase before that I only saw 上月我们学校里有选举. Are they both correct? Thank you. Quote

Maria86 Posted October 11, 2015 at 07:33 AM Author Report Posted October 11, 2015 at 07:33 AM OK,but what about the two sentences,are they valid? Quote
Messidor Posted October 11, 2015 at 11:42 AM Report Posted October 11, 2015 at 11:42 AM 上月我们学校里选举 is incomplete; it's not ellipsis; example such as 上月我们学校选举学生会主席(了) is complete; 选举 is most likely a verb 上月我们学校里选举了 is ellipsis thus acceptable but kind of colloquial, and context may be necessary; 选举 is a verb 上月我们学校里有选举 is correct; 选举 is a noun (as in your paraphrase) Quote
