HSK 2 Grammar

We compiled all the essential grammar points required for mastering HSK level 2 below.

2.1 – The Three Common Uses of 多(duō) in Chinese


多, is pronounced as [duō], which means many, more. Now we will talk about the three most commonly used meanings in the beginning level.

1

When 多 is used as an interrogative pronoun, it`s used before an adjective to make an interrogative sentence to ask about the age, distance or degree.

e.g.

A: 你今年多大了? How old are you?

(Nǐ jīnnián duōdàle?)

B: 我今年20岁。I`m 20 years old this year.

(Wǒ jīnnián 20 suì.)

2:

When 多 is an adjective, it`s used to show a large amount or the increase in numbers.

Subject +  (多 serves as the predicate)

e.g.

人很多。

(Rén hěnduō.)

他的头发不多。

(Tā de tóufa bù duō.)

degree adverb + + noun/noun phrase (多serves as attribute)

e.g.

他有很多钱。

(Tā yǒu hěnduō qián.)

他总有许多理由。

(Tā zǒng yǒu xǔduō lǐyóu.)

Subject + + verb.

e.g.

你要多休息。

(Nǐ yào duō xiūxi.)

学习汉语要多听多说。

(Xuéxí hànyǔ yào duō tīng duō shuō.)

3:

When 多 is used as a numeral word, it indicates an uncertain number.

For the measure words, such as 个(gè)/ 本(běn)/ 件(jiàn)/ 次(cì), 多 can not be put after the measure words or nouns. In this situation, 多 can only be put before the measure words or nouns.

e.g.

十多(个)人 (Shí duō (gè) rén)

一百多本书 (yībǎi duō běn shū)

一千多件衣服 (yīqiān duō jiàn yīfú)

三十多次 (sānshí duō cì)

For the measure words, such as 年(nián) / 月(yuè)/ 星期(xīng qī)/ 点(diǎn) / 岁(suì) / 块(kuài), 多 can be put both before or after the measure words or nouns.

e.g.

年:

一年多 (yī nián duō)

十多年 (shí duō nián)

月:

一个多月 (yī gè duō yuè)

十多个月 (shí duō gè yuè)

星期:

九个多星期 (jiǔ gè duō xīng qī)

十多个星期 (shí duō gè xīng qī)

点:

三点多 (sān diǎn duō)

岁:

五岁多 (wǔ suì duō)

二十多岁 (èrshí duō suì)

块:

九块多 (jiǔ kuài duō)

十多块 (shí duō kuài)

Note that there are no these sayings like “一个月多” “一个星期多” in Chinese. And 点 can only be put after the measure words, but before.

2.2 – The Two Common Uses of Adverb 都(dōu) in Chinese


When 都 is used as adverb in Chinese, it`s pronounced as [dōu]. There are two commonly used meanings of it.

我们都是中国人。(Wǒmen dōu shì zhōngguó rén.)

We are all Chinese.

孩子们都喜欢睡觉。(Háizimen dōu xǐhuān shuìjiào.)

Kids all like sleeping.

都2

都 is used with “了” at the end of a sentence, which means already.

e.g.

都7岁了,你应该去学校了。(Dōu 7 suìle, nǐ yīnggāi qù xuéxiàole.)

You`re already 7 years old, you should go to school.

都11点了,怎么还不睡觉?(Dōu 11 diǎnle, zěnme hái bù shuìjiào?)

It`s already 11 o`clock, why still not sleep?

都这么多人了,为什么不开始上课?(Dōu zhème duō rénle, wèishéme bù kāishǐ shàngkè?)

Unlock video lessons & exercises

In Chinese, some verbs can be reduplicated to indicate that an action is done within a short period of time or to show attempts. And the tone should be easy and casual. It is very common to use this kind of reduplication in spoken language.

In HSK 2, there are mainly three kinds of verb reduplication structures, which are AA, A一A and ABAB.

e.g.

Monosyllabic verbs

Verb 看 (kàn) 说 (shuō) 听 (tīng) 等 (děng)
AA 看看 说说 听听 等等
AA 看一看 说一说 听一听 等一等


Disyllabic verbs:

Verb 介绍 (jièshào) 休息 (xiūxi) 准备 (zhǔnbèi) 运动 (yùndòng)
ABAB 介绍介绍 休息休息 准备准备 运动运动

Lesson 8 – The adjective reduplication in Chinese

Unlock video lessons & exercises

In Chinese, some adjectives can be reduplicated to emphasize a deep degree or to show one`s affection. There are mainly two forms of the adjective reduplication in Chinese, which are AA and ABAB. But ABAB is the reduplication form in HSK level 3, we will talk about it in later course. Now we just focus on the form AA, which is the monosyllabic adjective.

e.g.

Adjective 甜 (tián) 大 (dà) 小 (xiǎo) 长 (cháng)
AA 甜甜 大大 小小 长长

 

Note:

1. When the adjective reduplication serves as the predicate, we must add “的” after it.

e.g.

X 这个苹果甜甜。(Zhège píngguǒ tiántián.)

√ 这个苹果甜甜的。(Zhège píngguǒ tiántián de.)

X 他的手大大。(Tā de shǒu dàdà.)

√ 他的手大大的。(Tā de shǒu dàdà de.)

X 我的头发长长。(Wǒ de tóufa chángcháng.)

√ 我的头发长长的。(Wǒ de tóufa chángcháng de.)

2. When we use the reduplication of adjectives, it can`t be added the degree adverb before it, such as “很”“非常”“特别”“相当” and etc.

e.g.

X 这个苹果很甜甜的。(Zhège píngguǒ hěn tiántián de.)

√ 这个苹果甜甜的。(Zhège píngguǒ tiántián de.)

X 他的手非常大大的。(Tā de shǒu fēicháng dàdà de.)

√ 他的手大大的。(Tā de shǒu dàdà de.)

X 我的头发特别长长的。(Wǒ de tóufa tèbié chángcháng de.)

le, modal/ aspect patical,it indicates that some event/action took place.

过 vs 了

The difference between 过 and 了The two particles 过 and 了 (le) might seem quite similar: both can be used to talk about completed actions. The differences are:

  • 了indicates that the event took place, e.g.

昨天我去故宫了。( Zuótiān wǒ qù gùgōngle. I went to the Forbidden City yesterday.)

  • 了placed after a verb denotes that the action is accomplished, e.g.

我买了一本汉语书。(Wǒ mǎile yī běn hànyǔ shū. I bought a Chinese book.)
我到了北京就给你打电话。(Wǒ dàole běijīng jiù gěi nǐ dǎ diànhuà. I will call you as soon as I arrive Beijing.)

  • 了 can also be used to talk about changes of state.

现在是12点了,该睡觉了。(Xiànzài shì 12 diǎnle, gāi shuìjiàole. It is 12 o’clock now, it’s time to go to bed.)

  • The particle 过 denotes that some action has done in the past. It is used to emphasize experience. Compare the following sentences:

他来过我们家。(Tā láiguò wǒmen jiā.)
He’s been to our house (in the past – he’s left now).

他来我们家了。(Tā lái wǒmen jiā le.)
He’s come to our house (and he’s still here – completed action 了).

Using 过 and 了 together You can use 过 and 了 in the same sentence. When this happens, you’re always dealing with a ‘change of state 了‘, also known as ‘sentence 了‘. Change of state 了 is like saying “it is now the case that”. Things have changed, or there is new information.

When this combines with 过, you get something like “it is now the case that something has been done”. Sentences that combine 过 and 了 are also about specific objects, i.e. ones that the speaker and listener know about already, e.g.

你洗过澡了吗?(Nǐ xǐguò zǎole ma? Have you had a shower?)
你吃过药了吗?(Nǐ chīguò yàole ma? Have you taken your medicine?)

趋向补语 (qūxiàng bǔyǔ, directional complement ) A direction complement is a verbal complement that’s used, to describe the direction of a verb.

The most basic (and common) form of direction complement is formed by a verb and 来(Lái, come) or 去(Qù, go):

Verb + or  

The most important thing to consider with directional complements is the position
of the speaker. If the action moves towards the speaker or comes closer in any way,
use 来. If the action moves away from the speaker or becomes more distant in any
way, use 去.

Direction complement examples:
