If the foreign learners just begin the Chinese language learning in qualified Mandarin program, they need to learn some primary grammar points to support the effective learning such as the complement of quantity, the exclamatory sentences and certain form of comparative sentences which will be illustrate in the following parts with the detailed meanings, structures and examples.

First of all, the complement of quantity is essential for learners to master. It is used to show specific differences in quantity or degree between two things. A complement of this type is placed after an adjective. You can use the it by following the grammatical order A比B+ adjective+ numeral-classifier compound (complement). Accordingly, you can make sentence like 罗兰比我跑得快五分钟.

The exclamatory sentences are widely used in our daily conversation to express exclamations with various forms. The most ordinary forms are 太(too)/真(so)+ adjective and 好(so)/多(how)+ adjective. For the former structure, those who study Mandarin online may often say the sentences like太好了and这儿的风景真美.

In addition, it is important for the overseas students to know that exclamatory sentences are not used in objective descriptions. For example, we should say他是一个很好的老师instead of 他是一个真好的老师. For the exclamatory sentences with the latter pattern often have an 啊at the end like 你听，这支歌的歌词写得多好啊！

The comparative sentences are often used and important in daily communication. As a matter of fact, there are also various forms of comparative sentences in Chinese language. The first one that those who come tolearn Chinese language in China should know is the basic pattern of 跟…一样and跟…不一样, carrying the meaning of “be like (same as) and unlike respectively.

In Chinese language, A跟B一样is applied to indicate the comparative result is the same. For instance, when combing the two sentences 这件红毛衣500元and那件蓝毛衣也是500元together, you can say这件毛衣跟那件价钱一样. However, A跟B不一样indicates the different results. But it may be used as an attributive like他有一辆跟你这辆颜色一样的车.
