汉语用不用时态？

很多人说 "汉语不用时态， 但我不同意。当然汉语是有时态。 即使每种语言时态的系统不同，它们都也用时态。很多人说，在汉语只能用时间词指示时态，比如，今天， 明天，去年等等。不好意思，我不同意。如果只能用时间词表示时态，我们为什么能说 '我去过中国'，'他去了北京，我不知道为什么'？这些句子都不用时间词，但我们都知道它们都是在过去发生了。

无可否认，汉语时态的系统比其他语言时态的系统容易多了，但我觉得说汉语不用时态真是不对的， 也会让初学者觉得很迷惑。毕竟，一个没有时态的世界，很快就会陷入混乱， 中国也不例外！（什么叫做“时态世界”？）请那些学习汉语的人听着，汉语是有时态的，但不用担心学不会，时态用法是很简单的，如果你能记住几句简单的话，你将很快掌握汉语的时态。

A lot of people say "Chinese doesn't use tense', but I don't agree. Of course Chinese uses tense. Even if every languages tense system is different, they all still use tense. A lot of people also say, you can only use time words to express tense in Chinese, for example: today, tomorrow, last year etc etc. Sorry, I don't agree. If you can only use time words to express tense in Chinese how can we say things like '我去过中国' (I have been to China), '他去了北京，我不知道为什么 (He went to Beijing, I don't know why')? These sentences don't use time words, but we all know they happened in the past.

Admittedly, tense in Chinese is much easier than other languages tense systems, but I feel to say Chinese doesn't have tense is wrong, and will make beginners very confused. After all, a world without tense will quickly fall into chaos, China is no exception! I tell people learning Chinese, Chinese definitely has tense, but don't worry the usage of tense is very easy. If you can remember a few simple words, you will quickly master Chinese tense.
