Chinese grammar of Syntax-------Sentence Structure Chinese grammar of Syntax-------Sentence Structure The basis facts of sentence are: Subject(主语), Predicate(谓语), Objective(宾语). The supplement facts of sentence are : attribute(定语), adverbial(状语), complement(补语). We can divide subject and predicate by using “||”. The sentences usually have two situations: “write people” and “write thing/matter). You should know sentence is writing about what, people or thing, when you analysis it. write people: “who（主语）” +“do（谓语） what（宾语）” For example: 李明||写字。（LiMing write words.) 李明 is subject , 写 is predicate, 字 is objective. Attention: you should catch the main structure when you deal with the complex single sentence(复杂单句) For example: 一中的（定语）李明（主语）在课桌上（状语）写着（谓语）毛笔（定语）字。 Meaning: LiMing who is from No.1 school was writhing the Chinese brush writing. write thing: “what thing/matter” + “how” For example: 猫｜｜吃鱼。.（The cat eats the fish. ） 一只（定语）小（定语）猫（主语）｜｜在湖边（状语）捉（谓语）了（补语）一条（定语）大（定语）鱼。 Meaning: A little cat catched a big fish in the lake. Attention: “是（is/am/are）” is a verb as “谓语”. For example: 他（主语）｜｜是（谓语）学生(宾语)。(He is a student.) Then let us talk about 定语(attribute)、状语(adverbial)、补语(complement) now. In a word, the order of them is : （状语）（定语）主语（状语）谓语（补语）（定语）宾语。 For example: 一天（状语）两只（定语）美丽的（定语）鸟儿（主语）高兴地（状语）唱（谓语）一首（定语）歌（宾语）。 The main structure is: 鸟儿唱歌。 Meaning: One day, two beautiful birds sung a song happily. Examples: 鲁班（主语）是（谓语）我国（定语）古代（定语）春秋时期（定语）一位（定语）著名的（定语）建筑（定语）工匠（宾语）。 那个时候的（定语）社会（定语）生产力（主语）还十分（状语）落后（谓语）。 鲁班（主语）接受（谓语）了（状语）一项大的（定语）建筑工程（定语）任务（宾语）。 Signal: ·····的 定语 ·····地 状语 ·····得 补语
