了 (le) marks completed actions or a change of state. Position matters: after the verb for completion, at sentence end for change.
還沒...呢 expresses that something hasn't happened yet but is expected to happen.
正在 indicates an action is happening right now, similar to English "-ing" progressive tense.
著 (zhe) indicates an ongoing state or describes the manner in which an action is performed.
過 (guò) indicates that an action has been experienced at some point in the past, focusing on the experience itself rather than when it happened.
The V不V pattern (also called affirmative-negative question) offers a choice between doing and not doing something. It is an alternative to using 吗.
是不是 is used to ask for confirmation or to form yes/no questions. It can appear at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence.
比 is the primary comparison marker in Chinese. A 比 B + Adj means "A is more [adjective] than B."
先...再/然后 sequences actions - first...then.
Learn the Chinese cause-effect pattern 因为...所以 (yīnwèi...suǒyǐ) meaning because...therefore. Essential for expressing reasons and results.
一下 after verbs indicates brief action or softens requests. Makes actions sound casual and less demanding.
太...了 wraps around adjectives to mean too or extremely. Can express either excess or emphatic praise depending on context.
