Basic Sentence Structure
Subject + Verb + Object
Verbs in Chinese are not conjugated, and noun and adjective endings do not change. Nor are they changed by time or other factors.
Chinese uses particles to change the meaning of sentences. These are somewhat similar to articles (the, a, an) in English, but much more powerful. (See the nouns page for more details on particles.)
Negative Sentences
A verb becomes negative when preceded by the word bù. (See the verb section on this page.)
Comparatives / Superlatives
Comparisons can be made using the word bi after the adverbs and any auxiliary verbs.
Tā bǐ wǒ máng. => She is busier than I am.
Dōngní yě bǐ wǒ máng hěn duō. => Tony is also a lot busier than I am.
