keannu2 Posted August 6, 2019 at 07:47 AM Report Posted August 6, 2019 at 07:47 AM In the following sentence, what is the meaning of "过"? 刚去上大学的时候, 一直没有离开过家的她适应不了那种集体生活的环境 Quote
Jim Posted August 6, 2019 at 09:50 AM Report Posted August 6, 2019 at 09:50 AM Compound construction meaning "never" that works a bit like the same with 从来 rather than the 一直没有 in your example: https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_"never"_with_"conglai" 1 Quote
Publius Posted August 6, 2019 at 10:33 AM Report Posted August 6, 2019 at 10:33 AM 过 does not have a meaning, but it has a function. It marks the sentence/clause as explaining a past experience (or the lack thereof). 一直没有离开过家的她 she, who had never been away from home before, 一直没有离开家的她 she, who had never left home, 1 Quote
