Chinese grammar mistakes 75

 

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

False:

    去年的苹果产量没有今年的苹果产量那么多。

    Qùnián de pínɡɡuǒ chǎnliànɡ méiyǒu jīnnián de pínɡɡuǒ chǎnliànɡ nàme duō.

True:

    去年的苹果产量没有今年的苹果产量这么多。

    Qùnián de pínɡɡuǒ chǎnliànɡ méiyǒu jīnnián de pínɡɡuǒ chǎnliànɡ zhème duō.

这句话是重在说明今年的情况,距离谈话的时间比较近,应该改用“这么”。

The sentence is focused on the situation of this year which encloses the moment of utterance. One should use 这么.
