Grammar is essential for the learners to study when they attend to summer program in China because it is the basis for them to speak out the correct and logical sentences. One of the grammar points that the learners should understand is the adverbials and the structural particle 地. In the daily conversation, 地often appears like同学们都在努力地学习. Usually, the structural particle 地is an indicator of adverbial in a sentence.

In addition, the sentence without a subject with the structure of “verb + noun” is important to learn. During the process of Chinese language learning, some students study in HSK preparation program in China will learn this important point that is some sentences in Chinese language do not have subjects. Such kind of sentences usually has two functions as follows.

First of all, it can be applied to describe some natural phenomena such as the weather. For examples, 刮风了and下雨了. Of course, if you intend to express your good wishes to somebody, the sentences of this type are helpful. You may often hear Chinese people say 祝你生日快乐and祝你新年快乐.

Another important point you need to know is the simple complement of direction “verb + 来/去” which is applied to indicate the direction of an act. According to an American students who study Mandarin Chinese at Kunming Keats School, when the verbs 来and去are used after some other verbs to function as complements and indicate the direction of an act, they are called a simple complement of direction.

If an act is occurring in the direction towards the speaker or something being referred to, 来is used. On the opposite, 去is used. The following examples are several that often used by the students when they begin tolearn Mandarin Chinese. 快进来吧and他回家去了.

In the case that the object of a sentence is a word denoting the place, it is usually placed after the verb and before 来or去 like 我到小赵家去了. However, the object can be placed before or after 来or去if it is a word referring to something such as 他买来了一本书and他买了一本书来.
