No matter how many Chinese words the students have mastered, the grammar points are always essential to be learned in order to speak fluent Chinese language. When reading Chinese sentences or passages, you may often see the words 诸多 which is an adjective carrying the meaning of many. It is more often used in written Chinese, functioning as attribute. You can add 的but you can‘t add 不to negate. In addition, it is not allowed to be modified by adverbs of degree. You can make sentences like 尽管改革遇到了诸多障碍，但是改革者还是要进行下去.

Let‘s move our attention to the sentence 明天的比赛取胜与否，队员们的配合是关键. When seeing the pattern 与否in the sentence, the overseas students who attend to school to study Mandarin need to know the structure A与否, … is a written structure which is equivalent to the pattern A或不A. The point needs attention is that A is component parts of verbs or adjectives.

In addition, if you come across the pattern 再也不or再也没有 in reading process, you can understand the meaning of the sentences because it is applied to indicate some conditions will never happen again. It has the same meaning with not any more or no longer in English. For instance, 他出国后，再也没跟朋友联系过. For the word起码, students who study Chinese should know it is an adjective to indicate the lowest limit like 这个项目进度很慢，最起码要到明年五月才能完成.

The last but not least word introduced in this article is 尔后, which is not as frequently used as those mentioned above. But when you see it, you should at least know the meaning of it. As a matter of fact, the meaning is simple that to indicate from now on or since then. It is usually used in written form. For example, 上次拍卖会上这件古董被一位神秘人物买走，尔后就不知去向了.
