New Members :zrg? Posted July 19, 2017 at 11:32 AM New Members Report Posted July 19, 2017 at 11:32 AM Hello, I've come across this sentence: 我什么地方都不知道。I don't know any places (here). Does 地方 not function as an object that it doesn't stand on the end of the sentence? I was searching for some chinese patterns but none of them gave me the answer or I can't see it. I'd appreciate if someone could explain this to me. Quote
