TheWind Posted February 22, 2020 at 06:01 AM Report Posted February 22, 2020 at 06:01 AM Hey everyone quick question regarding sentance structure when using 的 地 得。My grammar is not so good, so perhaps this is a simple rule that has been long overlooked as I was reading a graded Chinese reader (汉语分级阅读3) I was wondering why sometimes we use 的 with an adjective, but other times you don't。 I thought I noticed a pattern like if the adjective was before the noun, then you would add the particle adj+的 + noun 无聊的书 大的超市 but if the adjective is placed after the noun, then you don't need to or you shouldn't, (I'm not sure) add the particle noun + adj 退长 旅行包干干净净 so I was wondering if this is the correct grammar structure for this particular particle? furthermore, are there other structures like this with the other particles (地,得)。 whenever writing my own articles on Italki for practice, I usually make mistakes with these particles and their placement, but I'm never 100% sure why Quote
