Chinese grammar mistakes 68

 

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

False:

    小王和小李来了,你问问

    Xiǎo Wáng hé Xiǎo Lǐ lái le, nǐ wèn wèn tā

True:

    小王和小李来了,你问问他们

    Xiǎo Wáng hé Xiǎo Lǐ lái le, nǐ wèn wèn tāmen.

“他”指代不清,是问“小王”还是“小李”,看不出来。应改为“他”为“他们”。

他 is ambiguous since it directs at 小王 or 小李 with equal possibility. 他们 should be used.
