Chinese grammar mistakes 35

 

When communicating in Chinese you may often make mistakes using Chinese grammar like:

False:

    学校同意他能够上二年级吗?

    Xuéxiào tónɡyì tā nénɡɡòu shànɡ èr niánjí mɑ

True:

    学校能够同意他上二年级吗?

    Xuéxiào nénɡɡòu tónɡyì tā shànɡ èr niánjí mɑ

 

“能够”表示许可,要放在动词谓语之前,而不能挡在充任宾语的主谓词组的谓语的前边。

能够 expresses permission. It should precede the verbal predicate of the whole sentence, not the predicate of the subject-predicate phrase serving as the object.
